Someone emailed this to me. I found it very interesting.
Please keep in mind the secret service takes threats about assassinating the president very seriously, so please don't post any personal comments along those lines. I am curious to see what people think about this though. It's kinda creepy, huh?

Subject: history lesson

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.
And LOOK! This year is were it lands!

1840: William Henry Harrison (Died in Office)

Well its kind of odd that there are all those things in common with all the assassinations but i doubt they are linked in anyway.

However i belive it is possible someone could assassinate bush, after all alot of gore supporters are pissed he isnt in office. And alot of people dont like bushes views... however i think bush will probally be pretty safe cause im sure he is aware that there are alot of people out to get him and im sure the secert service is aware of this also, therefore giving him added protection in high risk envierments.

Correction: A week before Kennedy was shot, he was IN Marilyn Monroe.

Coincidences are cool.

I heard that the 0 year thing came from an Indian curse but I'm not sure how much truth is in that. I won't be the one pulling the trigger but I wouldn't exactly be devastated if he was killed.

I'm sure someone will try to kill Bush.....Clinton had at least a six 'Assassination' attempts............ Reagan took a bullet.......I'm not sure who would be Worse, Bush of Cheaney....mmmmm....I personaly favor Bush.

Its like the film final destination; preaching that death has a design, but I think its just a coincidence

they wouldn't assassinate bush. he has his own show on comedy central.

"one of these days laura, i'm gonna bunch you in the face. then in the stomach. then in the face again!"

har har har ha

seriously though, that is pretty weird.

If your friend is already dead, and being eaten by vultures, I think it's okay to feed some bits of your friend to one of the vultures, to teach him to do some tricks. But only if you're serious about adopting the vulture.

Bushs response: *looks at camera* "What me worry?"

Har har har har.

Not any more. the show has been cancelled. I thought it was hilarious. Too bad. Must have been some FCC pressure or something.?

Although interesting, some of those Lincoln-Kennedy coincidences aren't actually correct. In particular:

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

Not true. Lincoln did not have a secretary named Kennedy.

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

Not true. Booth was born in 1838.

"Booth ran from the theater and was caught in a
warehouse.
Oswald ran from a warehouse and was caught in a
theater."

Booth was caught and killed at a barn. Also, tivial, but relevant, Lincoln was shot in a theater, Kennedy was shot from a warehouse.

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

A pretty sick thought considering Marilyn Monroe was dead for a year before Kennedy was killed.


As for the other "coincidences", you might find this interesting:
