    - Lincoln and Kennedy
    Here's a little part of US history which makes you go h-m-m-m:
    Have a history teacher explain this if they 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.
    The names Lincoln and Kennedy each contain seven letters.
    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.
    Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy.
    Kennedy's secretary was named Lincoln.
    Both were assassinated by Southerners.
    Both were succeeded by Southerners.
    Both successors were 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. I was corrected on this and he was born on 1838
    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.
    Lincoln was shot at the theater named 'Kennedy.' I was corrected on this and the theater was named Ford at the time of the assassination. Thanks H.!
    Kennedy was shot in a car called 'Lincoln.'
    Booth ran from the theater and was caught in a warehouse.
    Oswald ran from a warehouse and was caught 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.
    Interesting Fact about the Pope John Paul II death
    Pope was living 85 years - sum of those numbers = 13
    Pope died on 2.04.2005 - sum of those numbers = 13
    Pope died at 21.37 - again - sum is equal.... 13
    13...that's Maria's number - only that time Holy Mother was showing herself to 3 children in Fatima
    on 13th May 1981 - Pope was wounded and that time was saved by Holy Mother
    on 13th Pope went to the hospital for the first time
    on 13th died the last child of three from Fatima to whom Holy Mother showed up
    Pope died on 02.04.2005 at 21.37.. add all those numbers....
    2+4+2+5 = 13
    2+1+3+7 = 13
    13+13=26
    26 years of pontificate......
    Coincidence? or it had to be like this?
    in the end......he died in 13th week of the year...and when you multiply the time of his death 21 x 37...you will have 777
    Pope was living exactly 31 thousands days...if you reverse
    figures...you will get again 13!!!
    
    World Cup
    Brazil last won the world cup in 1994. Before that they won it in 1970. Add 1970 and 1994, it equals 3964.
    
    Germany last won in 1990. Before that they won in 1974. Add 1990 and 1974, it equals 3964.
    
    Argentina last won the world cup in 1986. Before that they won it in 1978. Add 1978 and 1986, it equals 3964.
    
    So going by this logic, The winner of the 2002 world cup is the same as the 3964 - 2002 = 1962 world cup. The 1962 world cup was won by Brazil. It was really Brazil who won!!!
