I saw this in the local paper back in 2000, I had it stored on my harddrive and just rediscovered it, and thought I would share for those interested.
What happens when a president gets elected in a year ending in "0" (zero)? Also notice it goes in 20 year increments, and 2000 is the next in line!
1840; William Henry Harrison (died in office)
1860; Abraham Lincoln (assassinated)
1880; James A. Garfield (assassinated)
1900; William McInley (assassinated)
1920; Warren G. Harding (died in office)
1940; Franklin D. Roosevelt (died in office)
1960; John F. Kennedy (assassinated)
1980; Ronald Reagan (survived an assassination attempt)
2000; George W. Bush (?????)
If that is not wierd enough for you, then keep reading;
Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.

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.

Lincoln was shot in a theater named "Ford".
Kennedy was shot in a car called a "Lincoln" made by Ford.
Booth ran from a theater and was caught in a warehouse.
