He was elected President in 1860
He was elected President in 1960

His wife lost a child while living in the White House

He was directly concerned with Civil Rights

Lincoln had a secretary named Kennedy who told him not to go to the theater *1

Lincoln was shot in the back of the head in the presence of his wife

He was shot on a Friday

The assassin, John Wilkes Booth, was known by three names, comprised of fifteen letters
The assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, was known by three names, comprised of fifteen letters

Booth shot Lincoln in a theater and fled to a warehouse
Oswald shot Kennedy from a warehouse and fled to a theater

Booth was killed before being brought to trial
Oswald was killed before being brought to trial

There were theories that Booth was part of a greater conspiracy
There were theories that Oswald was part of a greater conspiracy

Lincoln's successor was Andrew Johnson, born in 1808

*1 Note: It is an urban myth that Lincoln had a secretary named Kennedy. There is no record of that.

**2 Note: There is no record whether or not Kennedy's secretary warned him.


And if you fold a dollar bill the right way you see a mushroom, or a mushroom cloud, or a penis or something.
