Duane Allman killed in motorcyle crash in Macon, GA: Oct 1971

Berry Oakley; Duane’s best friend and bass player killed in motorcycle crash Nov 1972, nearly an exact year later, nearly a block or two from Duane’s crash site in Macon, GA.

The Mark Twain one from above is redonk!

Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.

John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.

Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.
John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.

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 Presidents were shot in the head.

Now it gets really weird.

Lincoln 's secretary was named Kennedy.
Kennedy’s Secretary was named Lincoln .

Both were assassinated by Southerners.
Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson.

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

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.
Both names are composed of fifteen letters.

Now hang on to your seat.

Lincoln was shot at the theater named ‘Ford.’
Kennedy was shot in a car called ’ Lincoln ’ made by ‘Ford.’

Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in a warehouse.
Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a theater.

Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.

And here’s the kicker…

A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe , Maryland
A week before Kennedy was shot, he was in Marilyn Monroe.

Creepy huh?

:o :o :o

unbelievable.

damn, that’s great shit bigb!

so i guess a guy named Davis Jefferson must have been the second shooter up on the grassy knoll?

i guess history has a way of repeating itself

BUMP!

damn!

i can’t even read anymore.

And judging by past posts, i’ve read it all before!

how’s that for a coincidence?

The world is a crazy place!

bonus points to who can create a phish related coincidence… :nerd:

Whoa… that post by BigB is some mind-blowing shit. Unbelievable coincidences right there. Almost too perfect to be coincidences, but I’m not one to buy into conspiracy theories. Still, :open_mouth: .

Most fun (and interesting) post of 2010!!! I am starting to get really fucking of tired of these “touchy feely” lifestyle and decision making posts that have been flooding the okp lately. Lets get back to basics and talk about fun shit and most of all THE MUSIC!!! :thumbup:

Even more amazing that he posted this 2010 post in 2007!

That childrens book that has all of the Gamhendge characters or whatever is a pretty decent coincidence.
