...Is this True O.o? (look at the attachments)
I saw a friend post it on Facebook, and I was shocked. It just seems too weird to be a coincidence, but it's got to be.

Most of this is true, but Lincoln was never known by three names, or at the very least they have to explain what they mean by that. The Monroe, Maryland, thing is totally trivial.


The one I can tell you is wrong though is that that Lincoln was shot in a theatre called Ford's Theatre. And John Wilkes Booth was caught in a barn, which I guess you sorta could call a warehouse.

Like Airi said, they do have a few facts wrong, like the theater name. And the shot in the head thing seems like a 'well, duh!'- if you're going to kill someone, where else would you aim? You're more likely to hit that than the heart. While losing a kid was less common when Kennedy was president, it was very common in Lincoln's. He wasn't the only one to have a child die in the White House, and some of them might have died whether or not he was President.

As with a lot of things like this, Snopes has an article on it that is pretty thorough.

Ah, It didn't say lincoln was known by three names, is says his assisin was known by three names (or something)

My favorite part? The mention of an "assisnation," and later on, an "assinator." What are those, I wonder?

Truly, these are credible historians.

Bwahahaha...I was thrown off by some other grammar issues, but those misspellings...boy oh boy.

Anyway, a lot of these statements are obviously trying to make coincidences out of the most trivial of statements. And as the Snopes article points out, some are just wrong.

Well, it was good for a nice laugh in least.

Clearly, the only explanation is that there is a stand user nearby.
