Most Intriguing fact of the day...

[akbar]

I don't know if this is irony... but it definitely feels like irony. I mean it's not totally unrelated and just happen to happen.. but still very ironic... NICE FACT

It's more of a coincidence I'll say.

well the events are related so it's not really a coincidence.

Ermm I knew I shouldn't have bunked all those English lessons, but I still kind of think it's a misfortune or coincidence :S

If I could add to your "Fact of the day" page akbar, here's a common "conspiracy" myth involving both presidents Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy...

John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.

The names Lincoln and Kennedy each contain seven letters.

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 were shot in the head.

Both successors were named Johnson.

Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808.
Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.

John Wilkes Booth was born in 1839.

Not much to debate is there...

It's funny because when the topic is brought up in a social gathering, many people find it to be a "Fate" of a leader so great, even adding theories of it being tied to the likes of the KKK or Conferderate sympathizers. Others, like myself, see them as simple coincidences that can be explained rather easy. Either way, it's usually entertaining so long as the conversation takes place with people who are open to the idea of a debate, rather than getting pissed off that people don't agree with them lol.

Oh okay, we'll in that case, I think it could've been planned by the Federal Reserve. They're guys who really control the world, I mean they must've panicked with the terrorism shit so they were like "Hey let's put a black man as our badge, so the people can be on our side and not get any ideas from those crazy Arabs rebelling".
