I have no idea if they're real, but where did you find them?
They're interesting.

WOW! Those are some cool facts!;)

Most of them are, I believe! Some were in my American History book last year! In fact, there was even more to it. I'll try to find some of the other facts...

The one about being "in" Marilyn Monroe was in your text book?

I heard some stuff about his so I went to google.com and looked up Lincoln and Kennedy.

Hmmm..............well, I'm not sure about all of them, but some of them were in my text book as well as others not listed. I don't believe the last two were in my text book though. :confused:

I'm sure Mugsy knows for sure!

Popcornbird, the "in Marylin Monroe" comment is meant sexually...

As for the thread in question... Well... I personally belive that if you mess with something long enough you can get it to mean whatever you want. Like for example, I've seen people add together all these September 11 numbers to get "666" (mark of the beast/number of the devil/whatever) and I've seen people add together numbers in the Bible to get the date of Armageddon and so on. My point is that you can get anything out of that.
