History With Mystery

Look at the below stuff - very interesting (some of you may already aware of this but still thought of sharing).


History with Mystery










Ask a history teacher 2 explain this----- if he can?
!





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.


Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.
Both wives lost their children while living in the White House.


Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.
Both Presidents were shot in the head


Now it gets really weird...

Lincoln 's secretary was named Kennedy.
Kennedy's Secretary was named Lincoln .


Both were assassinated by Southerners.
Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson.


Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln , was born in 1808.
Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.





John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln , was born in 1839.
Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.



Both assassins were known by their three names.
Both names are composed of fifteen letters.


Now hang on to your seat...

Lincoln was shot at the theater named 'Ford.'
Kennedy was shot in a car called ' Lincoln ' made by 'Ford.'

Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in a warehouse.
Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a theater.

Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.


And here's the kicker...

A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe , Maryland
A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe.



Creepy huh?

Hey, this is one history lesson most people probably will not mind reading!



WHO FIGURED THIS OUT?
INCREDIBLE


1) Fold a NEW PINK $20 bill in half...



2) Fold again, taking care to fold it exactly as below



3) Fold the other end, exactly as before




4) Now, simply turn it over..



What a coincidence! A simple geometric fold creates a catastrophic premonition printed on all $20 bills!!!

COINCIDENCE? YOU DECIDE

As if that wasn't enough. Here is what you've seen...


Firstly The Pentagon on fire...



Then The Twin Towers.


..And now .. look at this!




TRIPLE COINCIDENCE ON A SIMPLE $20 BILL

It gets even better!!
9 + 11=$20!!
