HISTORY LESSON / SOME OF THIS MUST BE MADE UP
«

Sent to me by a friend , surely some of it is made up.
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.

OK, I tried to copy the snopes article, but hit the entry limit for this site (I used to be able to get around that by creating a small post, and then modifying it with the full sized post, but someone seems to have closed that back door, so I cannot post the snopes article - or at least, I'd have to spread it over 2 posts, which I cannot be bothered to do).
The snopes article generally takes the attitude that there are some factual inaccuracies, a good number of vague terms used to indicate similarities where the more detailed specifics would show greater difference; and in general, if you trawl throughout any two people lives and discard all the differences, you would inevitably expect to be left with a small number of coincidental similarities, and the number of coincidental similarities in these cases is no greater than would be expected in the circumstances.

Seany, I edited your post above because it's not generally a good idea to post your personal details on public forums like this one since people can in principle use that data to pass themselves off as you to your disadvantage... dates of birth are still being used as confirmation of ID on bank accounts etc.
I know people post their birthdays on facebook and so on, but I think it's very silly.
Of course if you really want to you can re-edit your post to put the date back in, but I would advise against it.
