Ahh yes, this is certainly a cute ending, but if true is really gross. No, not because it involves sex, but because Marilyn Monroe died in 1962! A week before Kennedy was shot was November 1963, so M.M. had been dead for over a year when he was allegedly in her. Can anyone say necropheliac??!

(Also according to mapquest.com there is no Monroe, Maryland, but let's not even go there!)

What about everything else?

# Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.- TRUE

# John F Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.- TRUE

# Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.- TRUE

# John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.- TRUE

# The names Lincoln and Kennedy each contain seven letters.- TRUE

# Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.- This is a stretch. I guess Kennedy was, I don't know too much about him but I do think the Civil Rights Acts that were passed in the Johnson administration had been started by him. Don't take my word for that though. And Lincoln was not particularly interested in civil rights. Early in the war he said that if he could end the war without freeing a single slave, he would do it, and if he could end it with freeing only some of the slaves, he would do it. The issue of freeing the slaves only become one later on because of politics and without it could have serious international reprocussions if they didn't. It didn't free any slaves that might be held in the north either, just in the south. So its not like I'm saying Lincoln had no cares for the slaves, especially when you think about the time period he was in, but he was not particularly concerned with civil rights issues.

# Both wives lost their children while living in the White House.- TRUE (though Lincoln's was a young boy, while the Kennedy's lost one that was two days old and another was stillborn. All of Lincoln's were born before coming to office, and had all boys while Kennedy's did not have all boys.)

# Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.- TRUE

# Both Presidents were shot in the head.- TRUE (is this really a coincidence though? Where else would you aim?)

# Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy.- FALSE, he had no such secretary. This one is completely made up.

# Kennedy's secretary was named Lincoln.- TRUE (though was a woman)

# Both were assassinated by Southerners.- SORTA, Booth was born in Maryland, which was not a part of the Confederacy, and also spent most of his time in the north. This confuses the true notion of him being a southern sympathizer with him actually being southern.

# Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson.- TRUE

# Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808.- TRUE

# Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.- TRUE

# John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in 1839.- FALSE See here.

# Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.- TRUE, but no longer matters.

# Both assassins were known by their three names.- TRUE (at least they are to us today, not sure what they were known as during his lifetime.)

# Both names are composed of fifteen letters.- TRUE

# Lincoln was shot at the theater named 'Ford.'- TRUE

# Kennedy was shot in a car called 'Lincoln' made by Ford.- I don't know

# Booth ran from the theater and was caught in a warehouse.- he was actually caught hiding in a barn that was used as storage, and he was not so much captured as the place was set on fire and he was shot when he refused to give up.

# Oswald ran from a warehouse and was caught in a theater.- yes but he did not shoot Kennedy in the warehouse, just from it, which kind of messes up the dichotomy.

# Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.- TRUE. I don't know if I'd call what happened to Booth an assassination. They both were killed before the trials though.

Lmao @ the last one. It's just a coincidence like the 9/11 ones. Pretty crazy though.
