I've seen photographs of both of them. The most stiking thing to me is they both had eyes, ears, face and a hair.

@erronious2010 Of course, genius. We all have eyes, ears, a face, and hair.

I looked up this stuff a year or two ago. A lot of it's wrong.

Booth's birth date. He was born in 1838, not '39, according to Wikipedia

and other websites.

Marilyn Monroe died over a year before JFK was shot.

Lincoln had no secretary named Kennedy. He had two male

secretaries. Both named John; Nicolay and Hay. I read their

book on Lincoln a couple years ago.

John Wilkes Booth was not captured in a warehouse. He was shot

while trapped in Richard Garrett's barn by Sgt. Boston Corbett.

@rockgor All I know is what the websites told me.

[montseJFK]

Marylin Monroe was dead since august, 1962, so how could JFK have slept with her in November 1963?

[robknightfilms]

@montseJFK I assumed it to be true, since I never knew anything about Monroe (besides her gender.)

[Tennnisnerd3]

Even if all these similarities were true, they don't mean anything until someone can prove that they aren't just random coincidences.

[zliciousnikka]

your telling me Kennedy was alive withouth his brains until he reached the hospital????

[tregoj1]

The barn was a "warehouse" for storing tobacco. Lincoln did have an aide named Kennedy.

@ 0:38 whats the relation there?

[nudist0885]

@nudist0885,

Actually I got one thing wrong.

Lincoln's successor was not the first born in the 19th century.

Sorry folks.

[81Nickelbabe]

Umm...you forgot something: both Lincoln's and Kennedy's succesors were named Johnson.

[AngryEyebrows96]

@rockgor Can't always believe everything, i think its just the government hiding shit like this.

[nudist0885]

Lincoln's successor was the 1st president born in the 19th century.

Kennedy's successor was the 1st president born in the 20th century.

Both successors were born in the year 08.

Both successors were 2 of only 4 men who served in the House Of Representatives, Senate, Vice Presidency and Presidency (Tyler and Nixon were the other 2).

Both successors were succeeded themselves by men whose last name was 5 letters long (Grant and Nixon)
