Are You Even or Odd? and History Mystery

written by Thom - August 26th, 2010 at 3:05 pm

Well it’s Friday. I hope you all have a great weekend. I knew this before even taking the quiz and no comments from the peanut gallery on that ya hear? LOL



You Are Odd




You are an odd duck – you don’t do anything the conventional way. You see life as an adventure, and you always take the less traveled path. You love opportunities, but you run from responsibilities. You live for today. You may want to strike more of a balance in your life. You could stand to be more even!

HISTORY MYSTERY

ATT00048

Have a history teacher explain this—– if they can.

ATT00051ATT00054

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.

ATT00057

John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in 1839. Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.

ATT00060ATT00063

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.

WHO FIGURED THIS OUT? INCREDIBLE

1) Fold a NEW $20 bill in half

ATT00066

2) Fold again, taking care to fold it exactly as below

ATT00072

3) Fold the other end, exactly as before

ATT00075

4) Now, simply turn it over

ATT00078

What a coincidence! A simple geometric fold creates a catastrophic premonition printed on all $20 bills!!!

COINCIDENCE? YOU DECIDE

As if that wasn’t enough…Here is what you’ve seen…

First The Pentagon on fire

ATT00081

Then The Twin Towers

ATT00084

And now .. look at this!

ATT00087

TRIPLE COINCIDENCE ON A SIMPLE $20 BILL
Disaster (Pentagon)
Disaster ( Twin Towers )
Disaster (Osama)???

It gets even better 9 + 11 = $20!

Creepy huh? Send this to as many people as you can, cause: Hey, this is one history lesson most people probably will not mind reading it!

Hey, it’s only my opinion.

A Hui Hou

  1. Ok that is so weird…

  2. That is weird indeed!! Amazing, but weird! Not that you’ll be surprised, but I’m odd! No s—, Sherlock! Hope you have a great weekend!!

    xoxoxox

  3. I’ve seen the Kennedy/Lincoln thing before but not the $20 bill thing. That is just so “odd”.

  4. You? Odd? Fancy that!

    (LOLOLOL!!!) :)

    I got even, of course:

    You Are Even
    You are an easy going person who is both even-tempered and even-keeled.
    You value stability above all else, and change can be a bit hard for you.

    You are compassionate and understanding. You want everyone to feel included.
    You tend to shy away from anything you don’t understand and know. Embrace your odd side every once and a while!

    I had seen the Kennedy/Lincoln thing, too, but not the dollar bill thing. Weird!

  5. I am odd too! And the odd and even comparison is so interesting. Kudos to the person who did all the hard work and research.

  6. Another even person signs in. Very interesting facts. Did you try the $20 thing? Goosebumps here. Have a wonderful weekend, Thom. xoxoxo

  7. I always wonder how people figure these things out. Creepy and then some
    Thanks for sharing – have a gr8 weekend

    Moon smiles

  8. What sound does an Odd Duck make?

    I’m an odd duck too.

    I always wonder if that stuff they list is really true but I don’t want to know enough to actually check it out and then I’m fascinated that someone did spend the time to figure all this out. k. bye. :)

    • Maybe QWAAAAKK LOL I don’t know LOL Welcome to the club. I’m with ya on this. But I wanna see what that 20 dollar bill does I tell ya :)

  9. I got odd…the very same. LOL Go figure.

    I’ve seen the $20 thing and I’ve read the Lincoln/Kennedy comparison. It never ceases to amaze me, the facts and all tho.

  10. I’m safe and sound back in our nation’s capitol. I’ve rearranged my room (with my roommate’s blessing) in a way that’s 100% more functional. Got a nifty new bedspread (with polka dots no less), and the wi-fi signal is about 500% stronger. I’m happy. :D

    That is some freaky stuff about Abe and Jackie. Like Nessa, I’m intrigued and somewhat skeptical, but not obsessed enough to verify it myself. lol

    Strangely enough, the quiz put me in the even column. Though the description sounded accurate, I’m still surprised. Most people find me quite odd. ;)

    Have a wonderful day! Mwah! xxoo

    • WOOT!!! I’m glad to know that you arrived safe and sound and got the room rearranged. Glad you are happy. Can’t have enough wi-fi signal I tell you. The stronger the better:) I would think of you as nothing but even myself. I’ve never thought you odd. A tad quirky, but aren’t we all. LOL MWAH!!! xoxox

  11. i’ve read this before, i think i got this email..

    • LOL…that is just a riot. Yeah I want to try that 20 dollar bill as well. :) Glad you enjoyed :)

      • Ah here’s Haazel :D A few things happened online last night. I’m guessing this was when I suddenly hid from some friends in the Middle East when they showed up. My silliness affected the spelling of my own name. And I thought I was getting better at multi-tasking. I take the blame :D

  12. The list of Lincon/Kennedy coincidences is amazing.

  13. how odd… all the bloggers are either odd or even (pffft!) like i need a “#$%& quiz to tell me i’m odd even when i’m not

    seems to me someone went to a lot of trouble to find a way to fold that banknote into something remotely meaningful (a load of bull if you ask me) but those facst (provided they’re all true) are fascinating – and yes, i’ve seen them before ;)

    • ROFLMAO!!! Well I’m sticking with odd for me and not budging LOL Well I’m sure there are those out there that have nothing better to do than figure this can of stuff out. Makes for good conversation, well maybe not good, but conversation to say the least :)

  14. No comments from the peanut gallery? Aw, come on, Thom.

    BTW, Mr. Al look at the stuff with the $20 bill and said, “people with too much time on their hands.” He’s such a cynic.

    • LOL…Yea!!! Some read that :) LOL You are right about too much time on their hands. You can see the comment I replied to above to Juliana and I hand’t read yours yet :)

  15. I am also odd, I prefer, lol !
    What an amazing thing with the $ bill !

  16. Hey, my friend-

    I knew the reason you had cut back. Harriet had told me. we all get burnt out. I was just fooling around. Just stop in and say “Yo” gto the twins, now & then? K!

    • We talk about you all the time….

      Thom….come back….Thom…come back….Monday Mayhem needs you….

      • Okay you two listen up and listen up good. I’m taking a break from them for a while. Now that you have both made me grovel today…ROFLMAO!!! I’ll be back I just don’t know when :)

  17. Oh Thom….that’s so old…

    I’m stopping by to thank you for taking on the August Comment Challenge.
    There is a special button located on my sidebar for everyone who signed up.
    Thanks again

  18. Quiz says I’m odd. I must be, I took the quiz ….

    I’ve seen the Kennedy Lincoln stuff in the past. Snopes had an interesting article explaining most of the coincidences and revealing a few errors and some fact stretching. For instance the “warehopuse” J. Wilkes Booth (his name before history made all three famous)was really a tobacco shed and he wasn’t assassinated, he was shot by a police office during an armed stand-off.

    As for the dollar bill, somebody had a lot of time on their hands to figure that out.

  19. Hey, what a surprise! I’m odd!

    I think that if you have presidential asirations you should definitely not run for congress in 2046, and make sure your vp is not born in 2008 or named Johnson!

  20. I had seen the first part of this, but not the second one. Creepy.
    Glad you got your ‘old’ theme back!

  21. I love that you’re “odd”

    I knew all the Lincoln and Kennedy stuff…it’s so crazy!

    I knew about the Twin Tower thing also…but not that it did the pentagon as well! Creepy!
