Not really much of a coincidence

Niether one was big on civil rights

There is a 1 in 7 chance that the day a person dies is on a Friday

If you are shot and killed( by the shot, not by bleeding to death) you either got hit in the head or in the chest so the is a 1 in 2 chance of them both being shot in the head


Lincoln had two White House secretaries John G. Nicolay and John Hay. not one called Kennedy

Booth was born in 1838


The rest......well, go to snopes

And I'm trying to figure out how the spammers got hold of this forum, and just why they're choosing to post random things like this? We've sure seen a lot of single post users in here lately that are way off topic.
