Man at Work Posted February 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Well, besides the bit about the secretary of Lincoln and the birthday of one of the assasins all the rest was not disputed by snoops. They just put their own oppinion to it. So to me it is not "crap", as the previous poster put it in his elegant way of arguing, but quite amazing. Liked the bit about "Monroe, Maryland" and Maryleen Monroe" though. MaW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 This "amazing coincidence" list started making the rounds shortly after JFK was shot. I also remember the story about the Jewish kid who came home from school one day and told his father he'd learned that Abe Lincoln was Jewish. His father asked what he was talking about. So the kid showed him his history book, where it said that Lincoln was shot in the temple! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
