Title: Presidents

Got sent this in Email, thought it was quite funny :)

> > Subject:    Fw: US Presidents
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)

> > >1960: John F. Kennedy (assassinated)

And to think that we had two guys fighting it out in the courts to be the one elected in 2000.

LOL Soon as I can reload, aim and fire a manually loaded rifle twice in 3 seconds and hit a target I can't see which is beyond my maximum range. ;)

Oh, I also found out that a week before he was assassinated, Lincoln was in Monroe, guess where Kennedy was a week before he was assasinated? ;)

So we got to get bush to Monroe?

LOL Well, in Kennedy's case, it was Marilyn Monroe ;)

It's the name Monroe that is important, as long as you can get him to either go to Monroe, or hang around with someone called Monroe, you might be onto a winner ;)

*hums X-Files theme song*

Did you also know that the 9/11 attacks and the Madrid bombings happened exactly 911 days apart? Aside from the fact that one is 9/11 and the other is 3/11, seperated by exactly 3 years. On 6/11, 2007, watch out.

Read something interesting today. Apparently, 9/11 was supposed to be including 10 planes, and on the anniversary of the USS Cole bombings.

I heard about this thing, it was suposed to be an indian curse or some such, I was actualy expecting Bush to get assassanated on his inauguration, oh well, we've still got four more years :)

(soposedly Reagan's survival of the curse may have broken it)

Have you checked any of the info out?

Maybe Bush will be assasinated in a warehouse while he was on his way to a theater, later to be realised that the assassin was from his own office?

And also later it became known that the assasin was Lincoln F. Kennedy. :D

I picked a few facts at random and checked them, they appear to be accurate :)

Hmmm... We need to get 'him' to a theatre (the odds of Bush going into a Library of his own accord are minimal) in a car made by Ford with Monroe shock absorbers, the theatre should be in Lincoln County.....

Any ideas anyone?

how quickly can you convert the Lincoln County theatre in to a rodeo?

Spooky stuff - though there are a lot of things like this, with huge lists of similarities and coincidences...
