by 'Ford.'

Blatently stolen from somewere else, but eh, thought it was intresting that someone would draw so many conclusions like this. One of those "Huh.. ya don't say..?" things really then "OMGS CONSPIRACY!!" things...

Actually, the one who killed both Lincoln and Kennedy was a time-traveling Giant Gerbil named Moklar The UnDigestiable!

Semi-bull.
Damn, Leo beat me to it.
I love snopes.

From the book of Leopold, the Voice of Reason, chapter 3, verse 16:

Like I said... more of a "huh... ya don't say..."
;P
Now, stay with me on this one: both Lincoln and Kennedy were PRESIDENTS! How convenient!
both were known to wear pants
both were born AFTER the fall of the roman empire but BEFORE 1999
honestly, these numbers don't impress me. it's like the old probility thing in math where the teachers show that there are two people with the same birthday in the same classroom with only 30 students.
if you look hard enough you can find statistical similarities to anything, especialy if the meaning can be trivial.
They both had a mother and father...
hmmm
quote:
Kinanik had this to say about the Spice Girls:
They both didn't get elected after they were shot? CONSPIRACY!
They both are humans and they both breathe! <dramatic music> ^.^

Actually this is a punchline to a joke. It's supposed to read, A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe, Maryland. A week before Kennedy was shot, he was IN Marilyn Monroe..
