Both assassins were known by their three names.

Both names comprise fifteen letters.

The only complete filming of Kennedy’s assasination was shot by Abraham Zapruder.
The only complete account of Lincoln’s assasination was written by John Zelfindorfer.

A week before Lincoln was shot, he was with friends in Monroe, Maryland.
A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with his friend Marilyn Monroe.

Lincoln’s last child, Tad, had his funeral held on July 16, 1871. Later he was exhumed and moved to a different grave site.
Kennedy’s son JFK Jr. was lost at sea on July 16, 1999. Later he was found, brought up, and then re-burried at sea.

Note: 1 Note: It is an urban myth that Lincoln had a secretary named Kennedy. There is no record of that.

2 Note: There is no record whether or not Kennedy’s secretary warned him.

3 Note: Booth actually fled to a farm and was killed in a tobacco barn. It might be a stretch to call it a warehouse.

But two years after his death, Booth’s body was temporarily moved to a warehouse. Also, after the assassination, the government closed the Ford Theatre and turned it into a warehouse.

Other interesting facts:
Apparently Lincoln had a dream several days before the assassination that he had been killed.
He told his wife that he had seen himself in a casket.

Also, Lincoln’s son Tad had a pet turkey named Jack. Tad asked his father not to kill the turkey for Thanksgiving.
Although Harry S Truman started the official tradition, Lincoln was the first to “pardon” a Thanksgiving turkey.

Now what would be real interesting is if Kennedy had a pet named Abe or had pardoned someone by that name. Thus far, I haven’t heard of that. Skeptics disagree

Some skeptics say that you could take any two famous people and find a number of similar-type coincidences between them.
The only problem with that theory is that there really haven’t been any listings of such comparisons.
And certainly none has been as extensive as the Lincoln-Kennedy similarities.

Summary:
Facts concerning the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy are amazingly similar. It is uncertain if such coincidences have any meaning, but they certainly are strange.

LOVE !

Noone could quite express love like Shakespeare. I sometimes believe that Love was a discovery by the likes of Shakespeare, for would we have known love if not for the tragic romance of Romeo and Juliet? We have a nice collection of Love Quotes by Shakespeare :

“Love is the most beautiful of dreams and the worst of nightmares.”
”
One half of me is yours, the other half yours- Mine own, I would say; but if mine, then yours, And so all yours!”

“She’s beautiful, and therefore to be wooed; She is woman, and therefore to be won”

“I’ll follow you and make a heaven out of hell, and I’ll die by your hand which I love so well.”

And for the humorous lovers out there, we also have some funny love quotes :

“We were both in love with him. I fell out of love with him, but he didn’t.” ~ Zsa Zsa gabor

“Sex without love is an empty experience, but as empty experiences go, it’s one of the best.”

“”A woman might as well propose: her husband will claim she did.” ~ Edgar Watson Howe

And here you go if you like more generic funny quotes…. Hundreds of them..

“Men are like parking spots, the good ones are taken and the free ones are handicapped. ”

” I couldn’t repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder.”

“Never argue with a fool. People might not know the difference.”

And well, like many love stories, though not all, they end up in a marriage, and sometimes it is the end of the love story, but can we ignore some Marriage Quotes :

“A lady’s imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment.”

” Love: a temporary insanity, curable by marriage.”
~Ambrose Bierce:

“All weddings are similar, but every marriage is different.”
~John Berger

HISTORY OF DUBAI !

Although the early history of Dubai is not very well documented, archeological discoveries suggests that, as long as four thousand years ago, small fishing communities lived along the coast of the Arabian Gulf on the site of what we know today as Dubai.

There are records of the town of Dubai (“Dubai”) from 1799, which was a dependent of the settlement of Abu Dhabi until 1833. The then sheikh of Dubai was a signatory to the British sponsored “General Treaty of Peace” of 1820.

In 1833, the Al Maktoum dynasty of the Bani Yas tribe left the settlement of Abu Dhabi and took over the town of Dubai, “without resistance”. From that point on, Dubai, a newly independent emirate was constantly at odds with the emirate of Abu Dhabi. An attempt by the Qawasim pirates to take over Dubai was thwarted.

In 1835, Dubai and the rest of the Trucial States signed a maritime truce with Britain and a “Perpetual Maritime Truce” about two decades later. Dubai came under the protection of the United Kingdom by the Exclusive Agreement of 1892.

The rulers of Dubai fostered trade and commerce, unlike the town’s neighbors. The successful early development was in large parts due to the foresight of Dubai’s rulers. The city has benefited from the stabilizing influence of two exceptionally long rules: that of H H Shaikh Saeed Bin Maktoum from 1912 to 1958, followed by that of his son, H H Shaikh Rashid Bin Saeed al-Maktoum.

For many years prior to his father’s death in 1958 Shaikh Rashid has played a leading role in directing the state. Since then he has guided Dubai in its expansion from a small, old-world town to a modern state with excellent communication, and industrial infrastructure, and all the comforts of contemporary life. He ruled Dubai for over 30 years, during which time large projects like the Jebel Ali free zone, World Trade Centre and Dubai International Airport were sanctioned.

The town of Dubai was an important port of call for foreign tradesmen (chiefly Indians), who settled in the town. Until the 1930s, the town was known for its pearl exports. The international trade which flowed from Dubai’s cosmopolitan contracts was the basis of it’s rapidly increasing prosperity. This gave the city an early start in development before the beginning of oil production in the late 1960s. Like the other towns along the coast, Dubai had been severely affected by the decline of the pearling industry, due to competition in the 1930s from Japanese cultured pearls, and by the drop in trade in the Second World War.

After the devaluation of the Gulf Rupee in 1966, Dubai joined the newly independent state of Qatar to set up a new monetary unit, the Qatar/Dubai riyal. Dubai maintained its importance as a trade route through the 1970s and 1980s. Dubai and its twin across the Dubai creek, Deira (independent at that time), became important ports of call for Western manufacturers. Most of the new city’s banking and financial centers were headquartered in this area.

In 1971 when the British left the Persian Gulf, Dubai together with Abu Dhabi and five other emirates, formed the United Arab Emirates. The UAE dirham was adopted in 1973 as the uniform currency, by Dubai and the other emirates.
