History Lesson...Weird or Destiny??
U.S. History Lesson
Have a history teacher explain this ... if they can.
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 theater named 'Ford.'
Kennedy was shot in a car called ' Lincoln' made by 'Ford.'
Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in a warehouse.
Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a theater.
Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.
And here's the kicker...
A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe, Maryland
A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe.
Weird or destiny??

The similarities between Jesus Christ and Elvis Presley are almost uncanny. Just check the following parallels for yourself!
Jesus said "Love thy neighbor." Elvis said "Don't be cruel."
Jesus is the Lord's shepherd. Elvis dated Cybill Shepherd.
Jesus was part of the Trinity. Elvis' first band was a trio.
Jesus walked on water. Elvis surfed (Blue Hawaii, 1965).
Jesus' entourage, the Apostles, had 12 members. Elvis' entourage, the Memphis Mafia, had 12 members.
Jesus was resurrected. Elvis had the famous 1968 "Comeback" TV special and many posthumous mall sightings.
Jesus said "If a man thirst, let him come to me, and drink." (John 7:37). Elvis said "Drinks on me" (Jail House Rock, 1957).
Jesus fasted for 40 days and nights. Elvis also had irregular eating habits (eg, 5 banana split breakfast).
Jesus is a Capricorn (Dec 25). Elvis is a Capricorn (Jan8).
Matthew was a biographer of Jesus. Neil Matthews was a biographer of Elvis (A Golden Tribute).
"Jesus countenance...like lightning...raiment snow white." (Matthew 28:3) Elvis wore snow white jumpsuits with lightning bolts.
Jesus lived in a state of grace in a near-eastern land. Elvis lived in Graceland in a nearly eastern state.
Jesus' mother Mary had an immaculate conception. Elvis' wife Priscilla went to Immaculate Conception H.S.
People called Jesus a "...glutton and a drunk." (Luke 7:34) People called Elvis "...an overweight druggie...".
Jesus died for us. Young girls would 'die for' Elvis.
Jesus was born in humble surroundings. Elvis was born in Mississippi.
Even today Jesus has a cult following. Even today Elvis has a cult following.
Jesus was called "King of Israel.." (John 12:13) Elvis was called "King of Rock n' Roll".
Was Elvis the 20th-century re-incarnation of Jesus? Hey, decide for yourself.....

I' ve noticed strange similarities between myself and the VIC-20.
For example:
"Jeff-20" ends with the number 20,
"VIC-20" also ends with the number 20!
The VIC-20 has 3.5k at its disposal,
My bank account shows that I too have 3.5k at my disposal!
The VIC has black keys,
Hey, I'm black too!
The VIC has four function keys,
I have four keys on my keychain!
The VIC 20 has a 6502 processor,
while I do not... however, if you add 6502 to 1981 (the year it was released), multiply by 22 (the screen size of the vic), divide the product by 16 (the maximum color output) and subtract 11474.125 (an arbitrary number capable of being typed on the VICs keyboard), you will get 190, the exact number of centimeters in my height!
Think about it!
