Bizzare!
As far as conspiracy theories go, this has got to be one of the strangest and most far fetched. Yet for some reason, this list of 'coincidences' is eerie. Yes, each fact can be argued as quite probable and/or insignificant. But, it is the shear number of such coincidences that captures attention and gets people staring off into space.
The 100 Year Recurrence
hmmmm
- Lincoln was elected in 1860, Kennedy in 1960, 100 years apart.
- Andrew Johnson was born in 1808. Lyndon Johnson was born in 1908, exactly one hundred years later.
- John Wilkes Booth was born in 1839 [according to some sources] Lee Harvey Oswald was born in 1939, one hundred years later.
- Lincoln was elected to congress in 1846, Kennedy was elected to congress in 1946...100 years apart.
- Lincoln defeated Stephen Douglas who was born in 1813; Kennedy defeated Richard Nixon who was born in 1913...100 years apart.
Count them Up
- LINCOLN and KENNEDY each has 7 letters.
- ANDREW JOHNSON and LYNDON JOHNSON each has 13 letters.
- JOHN WILKES BOOTH and LEE HARVEY OSWALD each has 15 letters. (We won't get into the three name assassin thing, as I believe this is put on them after the fact to distinguish them from innocent people with the same first and last name)

Strange Coincidences: Lincoln vs. Kennedy
Ok, I don't know if someone's already made one or two of these but I was bored and I was searching a little bit more of those strange things. And sorry for my bad grammar, I'm not the best english speaker. :-)

Weird coincidences! Maybe Lee Harvey Oswald and Kennedy were John Wilkes Booth and Lincoln reincarnated! I don't believe in reincarnation.. but that's the only explanation I can think of.

Odd stuff indeed. The issue I have with some of it is that you have to believe Oswald was the assassin. I don't buy that for a second.

This one is going around but it is obviously not true...A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe, Maryland.
A week before Kennedy was shot, he was in Marilyn Monroe.
Ha ha...very funny...Marilyn Monroe died over a year before JFK.
