Wrong! Didn't your mother ever tell you not to believe every word hear?

My stupid brother posted this on his Facebook:

There are weird similarities between Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy. 

• 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 shot in the back of the head in the presence of their wives.
• Lincoln was shot in the Ford Theatre. Kennedy was shot in a Lincoln, made by Ford
• Both wives lost their children while living in the White House.
• Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.
•  Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy.
• 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.
• 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. - OMG Facts.

I was skeptical about all these coincidences, so I looked it up on Google, and whaddaya know?  Some of them aren't even true.  Or coincidences.

1. Considering that presidents are elected every four years, the 100 year "coincidental" difference between Lincoln's and Kennedy's election years aren't even "coincidental."
2. Dur, they were both shot in the head.  If you were trying to assassinate someone, where else are you gonna shoot them?  The chest IS another option, but they were both sitting down facing away from the assassins.  So they had no other choice.
3. Being shot on the same day of the week is already a 1 in 7 chance.  And since most public presidential events occur on a Friday or Saturday, it's already a 1 in 2 chance.
4. Lincoln never had a secretary named Kennedy.
5. Booth hid in a tobacco shed after the assassination.  He shot Lincoln in a theater for plays.  Lee Harvey Oswald was found in a movie theater.
6. "Assassinated" is not the right word to use for Booth.  He was shot by a trooper who thought Booth was going to shoot him back.

There was also a bogus rumor about Booth and Oswald being born 100 years apart.  Booth was actually born in March of 1838.

Irrelevant PS
Hearing about Booth always reminds me about Zoolander and the "actor/model are perfect for assassins" conspiracy.
