Kaban ni Teofy del Mar: PAGTULON-AN SA KASAYSAYAN

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.
Creepy huh? Send this to as many people as you can, cause: Hey, this is one history lesson people don't mind reading


To my cousin Teofy, I find the article a good reading material and it provides shocking coincidences. Like for example, a week before Lincoln's assassination he visited a place, Monroe in Maryland while Kennedy one week before he was killed visited not a place but a "sex goddess" Marylin Monroe. The comparison given is quite hilarious and while reading
it I was tempted to "rewind" my memory to a story with a local setting: "Gitag-an nga ang  kamatyan sa iyang anak gipahimangno-an sa mananagna ang inahan nga kinahanglan mag-matngon gyud sa bato ug kayo (fire - sa uban gitawag ug kalayo) kay mao ray iyang "patyanan."kanunayng gipahinumdoman sa inahan ang anak nga di gyud magpaduol ug mga dagkung bato ug sa kayo. Apan ang namatyan sa anak kay nadasmagan man siya sa trak maong nibalik ang inahan sa mananagna. "Di man lagi bato ug kayo maoy namatyan sa akong anak, ingon ka ang iyang kamatyan mao ang bato ug kayo," nagkanayon ang inahan. Mitubag ang mananagna, "Bi, atong adtoon ang lugar sa aksidente kay naa pa man kaha ang trak nga nakaligis," sugyot sa mananagna. Pag-abut didto sa nahitabo-an gisusi dayon sa mananagna ang trak ug dayon sa dihang nakit-an niya ang ligid sa trak iyang gipabasa sa inahan ang marka sa ligid: "Firestone" maoy nakasuwat. "Sa ato pa wa ko masayup nga ang kamatyan sa imong anak, 'kayo ug bato'," kay mao nay gipasabut sa hubad sa  iningles sa "firestone!" Now going back to a "disclaimer" I read at the end of the article it does not claim answerable to "questions about the veracity or truth" of what the article tries to show. But anyway I appreciate the "creativeness and resourcefulness" of the author and it's a "blessing" you were able to receive it from your "contacts" and I was able to find it a "good and wholesome" reading material. I hope you can still send me some more from your "contacts" and I'm just too glad to read it. Lastly, I'm sending my regards to the whole family.  With my best personal regards to you and Babie! From - Ondo.
