Some are true, and mere coincidences. Some are misleading, and others are outright false. Even the ones that are technically correct aren't very meaningful when you consider the vast number of comparisons that fail to match up. If you take any two interesting people and dig through the facts long enough you could come up with a similar list of "amazing coincidences", so long as you're willing to overlook the vast majority of facts that don't match up nicely.

This list has made the rounds on the Internet for a while and yes, they seem to be amazing coincidences. However, many elements of this popular list have been debunked at various times by various people. See the link below for the Snopes.com article outlining the inaccuracies/fallacies.
