Foil hat time

[MendoDave]

Anybody seen this? Its the second time Its come to my inbox. I'm looking for everybody's 2 cents so I don't have to check and verify any of this.

Abraham     Lincoln   was   elected to Congress in 1846.
John  F.  Kennedy   was   elected to Congress in  1946.

Abraham     Lincoln  was   elected President in 1860.
John  F. Kennedy  was elected President in  1960.

Both were   particularly concerned with civil   rights.
Both wives lost their  children while  living in  the  White   House.

Both Presidents  were shot on a  Friday.
Both  Presidents were shot in the   head

Now it gets really   weird.

  Lincoln 's  secretary was named   Kennedy.
Kennedy's Secretary was  named     Lincoln  .

Both were assassinated by   Southerners.
Both were succeeded  by  Southerners named  Johnson.

Andrew  Johnson,  who succeeded Lincoln, was born in   1808.
Lyndon Johnson, who  succeeded Kennedy,  was born in  1908.


John   Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln ,  was born  in 1839.    Lee   Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy,  was  born   in   1939. 



Both   assassins were known by their three   names.
Both names are composed of  fifteen  letters.

Now  hang on to your  seat.

Lincoln was shot at the theatre  named  'Ford'.
Kennedy was shot in a car   called ' Lincoln ' made by   'Ford'.

Lincoln was  shot in a theatre and  his assassin ran and  hid in a  warehouse.
Kennedy was  shot from a warehouse  and his assassin ran  and hid in  a  theatre.

Booth  and Oswald were  assassinated before their  trials. 

The email has photos and stuff, and it shows you how to fold a  $20 dollar bill so that the front and back show the white house or the twin towers on fire. Also it points out that 9+11 = 20
Oh, and that the folded bill spells out the name of a certain president....

I'm looking for my foil hat...

I think that email is from the previous century.

Other than the part about the $20, I have seen that before.

Send me your $20 and I'll confirm if it actually shows the towers or a president's name

1873 - Henry Rose exhibits barbed wire at an Illinois county fair, which is taken up by Joseph Glidden and Jacob Haish, who invent a machine to mass-produce it.
1973 - I was born

OMG it all fits together now!

I've actually been to Nigeria... bear with me here...I was on a school trip 5 years ago & we visited some government offices.  The Minister of economic development was describing his grand vision of Nigeria becoming the next outsourcing call center hub ("we'll be bigger than India! Our English is better!" said in a very thick accent...) and he had plans to build the premier biotechnology & science innovation zone in Africa. One of my classmates raises his hand & asks if the Minister is worried that the constant barrage of Nigerian scam emails will negatively affect their international reputation & future foreign investment. The Minister, no joke, busts out laughing, slaps his hand on the table, and says "Everyone gets those emails. I get tons of those emails. My *grandmother* wouldn't be fooled by those ridiculous emails. If anyone falls for that nonsense, then shame on THEM!!"  That was the best meeting we had in Nigeria...

Here's another one that I've read:

A week before his assassination, Lincoln was in Monroe, Maryland.
A week before his assassination, Kennedy was in Marilyn, Monroe.
