NOTE: This is true and it is more interesting than funny, but worthwhile, nonetheless....

The names Lincoln and Kennedy each contain seven letters.
Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.
Both their wives lost children while living in the House.
Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.
Both were shot in the head.
Both were shot from behind.

The secretary of each President warned them not to go to the theatre and Dallas, respectively.
Lincoln's Secretary was named Kennedy.

Both successors were named Johnson.
The names "Andrew Johnson" and Lyndon Johnson each contain 13 letters.

Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808.

John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in 1839.

Mystery or statistical coincidence?
you forgot a couple:
Lincoln was shot in a theater named "Ford"
Kennedy was shot in a car called "Lincon" made by "Ford"
and
A week before Lincoln was shot he was in Monroe, Maryland.
A week before Kennedy was shot he was with Marylin Monroe.
