Wow, truly amazing set of similarities... this all reminds me of something I read once not too long after first seeing this several years ago. :tired: This web site (http://www.snopes.com/history/american/linckenn.htm) has an interesting article on all of these similarities that you may find interesting.

Disclaimer: I know from reading your post that this is probably more of an attempt at humor than anything else... I guess I'm a tad grumpy this morning :lick:
