History mystery


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.

P taught E law for free, on the condition that when E wins a case, he will have to pay P.
Subsequently E did not take up any cases, hence P sued E for the fees. P reasoned that if P won, E will have to pay, but if P loses, E will have to pay as well, since E has now won a case.
E however, reasoned that if E won against P, E need not pay to P. and if E lost, then there's no reason E ought to have paid P for the course.

the judge dismissed the case back then, and till now its not clear whether this was a real case. what should the verdict have been?

i feel that P should win, and yet lose, thus they are no longer related, meaning E doesnt have to pay at all.

ps - and please, only serious answers are welcome.

A glass is filled top half it's capacity with liquid and placed on a table in front of a group of two people.

One of these people think that he sees one thing and the other think that he sees another when in fact they all see the same thing.

Why is this so?

Serious answers only please.

Thanks.

Mindless Batter

He was shot buy a guerilla bullet and thrown into a mass grave
Betrayed by the very people he had come from far to save
Seekers of truth and justice will never stop to quail
For when the cause is noble it is glorious even to fail.

The hole is becoming wider with the burning flame of a dead society the shards of my protective world break and fall to pieces on the shield of my heart so you wont understand me and you never will you just cant see the damage done to me and still… my pain is beyond words now… so let me slowly kill myself to prove a point…an eerie silence is in my head wishing that I was dead to see just what lies behind the door of sleeping heads … aching back and neck is just the signs of the reason why we just can see eye to eye…we try to fit the image of the society dead…a place so fake….and yet we all fall in place…well I’m taking a chance and stepping out...I’m tired of the lies. I’m tired of the game of life and all is said…life’s so cruel but we hang on like spiders to webs…. death is such a misconception…its true it is sneaky but at least it tries to hurry about and take your life but NO life makes you cling on to the pain of the world…a little laugh should heal it right…a little laugh will hold me tight…a little laugh is all I know…to make this pain just a… So…. I see you and you think you see me …you want to me to be the normal one...well let me give you a little whisper of doubt… when I’m gone and flying high to leave this pain all behind…to see you all die just to fall in line… so let me be just who I be can you not close your mouth just to see what happens to me… you’re all blind wishing to see…well I see and you should just leave that be…the feelings I have inside are still a mystery to me...but I see you and you think you see me…this is not true...believe…I have given up on the hopes and dreams of a fantasy cause now I see what I truly want to be…but see you don’t understand me…so this gap between us will be there for ever more...until the day I settle the score…you can say its equal and fade away but you wont see me until I open the door…of all that’s locked in side my Pandora’s box for humans never to touch… Oh…but let me tell you all about the emotions bubbling in me…. Just a tub of water over flowing into a light …so here it is you figure it out…if you solve the equation maybe you can finally see…. So I see the truth behind life’s key but I’m lost at sea so how can that be, I see you, you cant see me I’m hidden in the dark of the place within everyones heart just the key…so believe…I run and I hide to cling on to pride…I die…I escape the light …I’m in every medicine cabinet…above every sink … and everyone thinks of me… So…mother…guess what I happen to be…

Planets of souls,
Wash around us,
Like tides eroding,
The earth we stand upon.
Dreams begin,
With the death of faith,
Leaving skeletons,
To guide the ways of others.

Passion failed,
Hope failed,
Only dreams hold us now,
Within its draping arms of slumber,
Brought to us,
Through our own,
Dying eyes.

We fail to believe...
In that which we are...
In that which we will be...
In that which we will conquer...
In that which conquers us...
And leaves us to die.

I'm not rich, so it's not like I can just go to a film acting school, or get into the film industry. I have no way of making that kind of money to get there. It's my dream and I can't think of doing anything else. I would be unhappy If I did anything else. I don't understand the meaning of this life. It makes virtually no sense to me. I've always had talent, and have tried to get an agent, but have been scammed everytime I try. I don't know anyone who is famous or that is in the film industry that can help me. I have talent in acting, singing, and screen-writing. But I can't afford to get an agent, and I can't afford to pay thousands of dollars to get into the Screen Writers Guild. So should I just give up?
