I haven't fact checked any of this, but it makes for a fun/interesting read.

I remember these from when I was in elementary school. thought they were the coolest. no idea if they're accurate.
 
You don't need a history teacher to explain that, you need a statistician:

Essentially, if you look at a large enough set of parameters (i.e., how many letters in their assassins names, when they were elected, what their favorite color was, favorite sex position, whatever), you have a chance of finding enough commonalities that it looks like an OMG amazing coincidence. There is undoubtedly a MUCH larger set of parameters that don't "match" between the two. (Kennedy probably liked oral, Lincoln was probably a missionary guy). You could make a similar set of OMG coincidences for any two people if you looked at a large enough set of parameters.
 
goddammit, this soooo calls for posting pics of lizard penises, but I'm not googling that at work.

Yabba, you're on the internet. Kindly refrain from making sense. Or else.

IIRC, Lincoln has for some time been considered a possible switch hitter and perhaps more comfortable on the other side of the plate.

So maybe not.
 
Holy shit, i just realized looking at the OP that neither have mustaches and they both part their hair to the same side. (cue crashing thunder and dah dah daaaaaaahhhhhhhh music)
