"What is happening to our young people? They disrespect
their elders.
They disobey their parents. They ignore the laws. They
riot in the streets
inflamed with wild notions. Their morals are decaying.
What is to become of
them?"
-Plato
"Plato is a bore." -Nietzsche
"You would not enjoy Nietzsche, sir. He is fundamentally
unsound."
-P.G. Woodhouse
I know many of you have heard this before:AMAZING WAYS JFK AND LINCOLN
WERE
EXACTLY ALIKE. Abraham Lincoln anf John F. Kennedy were two of
the greatest
U.S. Presidents of all time-and they are forever linked by an incridible
series
of similarities.
>Lincoln was elected in 1860. Kennedy, in 1960.
>Lincoln's assassin was born in 1839. Kennedy's, in 1939.
>Lincoln's Vice President was a southener named Johnson born in 1808.
Kennedy's
Vice President was a southener born in 1908.
>Both presidents were slain on a Friday, as their wives looked on.
Both were
shot from behind and in the head.
>John Wilkes Booth shot Lincoln in a theater and ran to a warehouse.
Lee Harvey
Oswald was shot Kennedy from a warehouse and ran to a theater.
>Both assassins were killed before they could be brought to trial.
>The names Lincoln and Kennedy each have seven letters. The names
of their
Vice Presidents-Andrew Johnson and Lyndon Johnson-each contain
13 letters.
>President Lincoln's secratary was named Kennedy and she advised him
to the
theater where he was killed. President Kennedy's secratary
was named
Lincoln and she advised him not to go to Dallas, where he was
assassinated.
>President Lincoln invented the potato chip. President Kennedy's
favorite
snack food was the potato chip.
>President Lincoln and JFK were both shot in fords - Lincoln in Ford's
theater
and Kennedy in a Lincoln Continental, which is made by the Ford
Motor Co.
Since I got such a good response from the last one, Today I am sending
the
list of 1988 top ten lists.
This week's obscure word: FEBRIFUGE
