Guardian Omega Posted February 21, 2003 Posted February 21, 2003 This is what my dad got similarily in an email........... Retyped and simplified.......*Copy and PASTE job* Presidential Curse Look what happens when a President gets elected in a year with a "0" at the end. Also notice it goes in increments of 20 years. 1840: William Henry Harrison (died in office) 1860: Abraham Lincoln (assassinated) 1880: James A. Garfield (assassinated) 1900: William McKinley (assassinated) 1920: Warren G. Harding (died in office) 1940: Franklin D. Roosevelt (died in office) 1960: John F. Kennedy (assassinated) 1980: Ronald Reagan (survived assassination attempt) 2000: George W. Bush And to think that we had two guys fighting it out in the courts to be the one elected in 2000. You might also be interested in this. 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. 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'. 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? This is one history lesson people don't mind reading

This is one history lesson people don't mind reading please tell me you didnt just think about this. i thought about this when i was in 3rd grade. its so old.
Eldritch Posted February 21, 2003 Posted February 21, 2003 It's interesting, but it is still old stuff. I'm curious how much of that stuff is verifiable with facts and evidence (not the election years, Lincoln/Kennedy's secretaries and stuff). Sounds like someone just has a hyperactive imagination.
Guardian Omega Posted February 21, 2003 Author Posted February 21, 2003 Actually I didn't think up on this, my dad got it in an email and showed it to me. Since it was the first time I heard of this, I decided to post it on here. Sorry if anyone of you thought up of this or read it before, because I haven't.
Boba Rhett Posted February 21, 2003 Posted February 21, 2003 It's old but it's still pretty neat. I prefer the version that says, "in Marilyn" though.

wassup Posted February 21, 2003 Posted February 21, 2003 I thought Kennedy's killer was never found...or never found yet...someone clarify this?

Khier Posted February 21, 2003 Posted February 21, 2003 I've never heard of it before (maybe because I'm in Canada ) so I thought it was interesting, eh

wassup Posted February 21, 2003 Posted February 21, 2003 so what do you all think will be G.W. Bush's fate?
Lunatic Jedi Posted February 21, 2003 Posted February 21, 2003 I've heard this before. Pretty bizarre, indeed.
Bungalow Posted February 21, 2003 Posted February 21, 2003 This is totally off topic, but I have to say it Awesome avatar Insane Sith!!!! Hyori 4 life!!!!! err now to get back on topic did anyone see the documentary where they interview the guy who admits to being the 3rd shooter?
BlackDove Posted February 21, 2003 Posted February 21, 2003 Originally posted by wassup so what do you all think will be G.W. Bush's fate? Hope he lives, but I don't really give a damn
SmartDragon Posted February 21, 2003 Posted February 21, 2003 It is fairly freaky I heard about most of it when I was on holiday in Texas
Yun the Sith Posted February 22, 2003 Posted February 22, 2003 Ya, I've heard about and read all this before to. But its still really interesting, IMO.
Hekx Posted February 22, 2003 Posted February 22, 2003 I never knew that since I don't have history lessons, just Humanaties.
Danyael Posted February 22, 2003 Posted February 22, 2003 You really do not want to talk about a current livings presidents date of death. In this time of war and terrorism, you may be hunted down by the Secret Service.. lol It is against the law to even joke about it.. ok I am shutting up now.
git_sum_stuka Posted February 22, 2003 Posted February 22, 2003 I heard that Lincon and Roosevelt are related. 1)their name's have 12 letters 2)Lincon was assinated in a theatre and the assasin ran to a warehouse 3)Kennedy was assasinated in a warehouse and the assasin ran to a theatre. < FREAKY!!! > ----------- \ \ \ __---__ _- /--______ __--( / \ )XXXXXXXXXXX\v. .-XXX( O O )XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX- /XXX( U ) XXXXXXX\ /XXXXX( )--_ XXXXXXXXXXX\ /XXXXX/ ( O ) XXXXXX \XXXXX\ XXXXX/ / XXXXXX \__ \XXXXX XXXXXX__/ XXXXXX \__----> ---___ XXX__/ XXXXXX \__ / \- --__/ ___/\ XXXXXX / ___--/= \-\ ___/ XXXXXX '--- XXXXXX \-\/XXX\ XXXXXX /XXXXX \XXXXXXXXX \ /XXXXX/ \XXXXXX > _/XXXXX/ \XXXXX--__/ __-- XXXX/ -XXXXXXXX--------------- XXXXXX- \XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/ ""VXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXV""
Darth Talliusc Posted February 22, 2003 Posted February 22, 2003 Originally posted by Khier Serakk I've never heard of it before (maybe because I'm in Canada ) so I thought it was interesting, eh ditto eh. what part of canada do ya hail from? nasty bit of business recently around my province. 4 train accidents in just over a week. most recent one was carrying propane and blew right up. nobody died though oddly enough. one train car travelled 1.6 km in the air.
Pisces Posted February 23, 2003 Posted February 23, 2003 Whoa, you musn't live anywhere near me. I never heard of that. Anyway, I found that stuff pretty interesting too, 'cause I live in Canada and never heard of it.
griff38 Posted February 23, 2003 Posted February 23, 2003 You say yourself Reagan didn't die, doesn't that spoil the record? Why ignore the piece of evidence that ruins your point? Maybe if they all were assasinated you would have a point and I would have to explain it to you. And who said "Kennedy was assasinated in a warehouse and the assasin ran to a theatre". He was shot in a car while riding down the road. Watch me Disruptor for nore details.
teutonicknight Posted February 23, 2003 Posted February 23, 2003 Hmm.. interesting... I live in the US and yet I have never heard of it...
