I do, but I won't spoil it for anyone else just yet because it's pretty neat...

**1MileCrash** · 11-28-2008, 08:23 PM

they were both killed by disgruntled veterans? i would have said both shot in the head but kennedy was technically shot in the neck and chest not the head.

And here I thought it was because saying his last name makes me giggle like a little school girl.

A lot of weird coincidences between the two such as,

Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846. John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.

Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860. John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.

Pretty interesting stuff. Theres a lot more too.

Lincoln was killed in Ford's Theater, Kennedy was killed riding in a Lincoln which is made by Ford.

**JwMonE99** · 11-30-2008, 04:36 PM

The died on similar dates too...

**FatTom** · 11-30-2008, 06:07 PM

Boothe shot Lincoln at a theatre and was caught at a warehouse.
Oswald shot Kennedy at a warehouse and was caught at a theatre.
All names have the same amount of letters: Boothe & Oswald 6, Lincoln & Kennedy 7.
Both killers have 3-name names: John Wilkes Boothe, Lee Harvey Oswald. Both were also killed before they could be tried.
We could go on and on...

The term Curse of Tippecanoe (also known as Tecumseh's curse, the presidential curse, zero-year curse, the twenty-year curse or the twenty-year presidential jinx) is sometimes used to describe the pattern where from 1840 to 1960 each American President who had won election in a year ending in zero (such as 1880 or 1900) died in office. It was supposedly "broken" by Ronald Reagan, who had survived being wounded in a March 1981 shooting.
