I originally thought this was a mistake through a mistaken calculation of weekdays. Nonetheless there is less parallel than the myth suggests. Someone recently wrote with information they found on the web to the effect that the Kennedy child died of complications resulting from premature birth. I am unable to find information regarding the Kennedy child, but I recall this being a miscarriage, which is not only surprisingly common, but makes the two losses not really comparable.

The death of children was not uncommon at the time. This is a muddied statement that ought to read 'Both their wives lost a child while living in the White House.' In fact the Lincoln's lost three of their four children before the children reached adulthood. In fact, to characterize the Lincoln Presidency as being 'particularly concerned with civil rights' seems a comic understatement.Д«oth wives lost their children while living in the White House. During both of these time periods the country was nearly torn to pieces over the issue. It would be more amazing if they hadn't been concerned with civil rights, because civil rights were THE SOCIAL CONCERNS of the day in both instances. Perhaps seven letter last names are quite common.Д«oth were particularly concerned with civil rights. OK, and I might add that their successor's names also had 7 letters. The names Lincoln and Kennedy each contain seven letters. The parallel in political careers diverges here, for Kennedy won a Senate seat in 1952, while Lincoln lost his Senate bid in 1858. At least it is more expected than their being elected to congress 100 years apart, and being elected president 150 years apart, because one of them would have been in congress as long as Strom Thurmond.

However, when two people are separated by about X years in history, it seems very likely, in fact more likely than not, that major milestones in their lives are separated by roughly the same increment as well. Obviously people might think that both men entering politics 100 years apart, and then being elected president also 100 years apart is a great coincidence. And each being assassinated doesn't deepen this coincidence one iota, because we chose two assassinated leaders and then found that by coincidence they were elected 100 years apart.ДЄbraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846. There are many people who have been elected president 100 years apart. One hundred is just such a nice, round number that people see extreme significance in it-much like they did the year 2000, for instance.

This is, of course, no more remarkable than two victims of assassination being elected 96 years apart or 104. In what follows I will first summarize an alleged 'amazing fact' in the cosmic connection as reported on the

Being a skeptic, I decided that it might be fun to examine these coincidences using only information available on the World Wide Web, plus what I could remember from my high school U.S. A copy was forwarded to me by a colleague who had little to do one recent (05/01/00) morning. Recently a document has been circulating on the internet outlining even more 'remarkable' coincidences. I first heard about the 'remarkable' coincidences probably in Jr. This cosmic story began not long after President Kennedy was assassinated.
