:: Creepy Story... Ask Your History Teacher! ::

Have a history teacher explain this----- if they can.

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 with Marilyn Monroe.

Creepy huh? Send this to as many people as you can, cause:

Hey, this is one history lesson most people probably will not mind reading!

:: UFO? Fireball? ::

DALLAS – The fireball that streaked across the sky and alarmed numerous Texas residents was likely just a big meteor and not wreckage from colliding satellites, experts said Monday.

Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Roland Herwig said the fireball seen across a wide stretch of the state Sunday morning probably was a natural phenomenon and not debris from last week's collision between an Iridium communications satellite and a Russian military space vehicle.

And Preston Starr, observatory manager at the University of North Texas, said it probably was a meteor about the size of a pickup truckwith the consistency of a chunk of concrete.

The Williamson County sheriff's office in central Texas said it received so many emergency calls about the light in the sky that it sent deputies out in a helicopter to look for a plane crash.

The FAA had said during the weekend that the fireball possibly was caused by falling debris from the satellites. It also posted a weekend warning telling pilots to watch out for satellite debris but rescinded the warning Sunday, Herwig said.

Starr said the object's trajectory was wrong for it to have been satellite debris. And he said such objects would be too small and moving too slowly to produce a flare so widely visible during the day.

"It would have looked like a blip, and nobody would be able to notice if it were a daytime entry," Starr said.

Starr said objects as large as his estimate for the one spotted Sunday enter the atmosphere about eight or 10 times a year. It was probably moving between 15,000 and 40,000 mph, he said.

Despite its initial large size, if any of the object survived the fiery descent through the atmosphere, it would be smaller than a fist, he said.

[.] Are You Wake Up Early? [.]

The benefits of getting up early are many.

1. You will become fitter
The morning is the best time to workout. The air is clean and cool and you have more energy at any other time in the day. Working out in the morning actually leads you to feel MORE awake and energized during the day. As time goes on your early morning workouts will keep you happy and awake during the long work days.

2. You will become thinner
Weight loss workouts in the morning are more effective because you have little to no available energy sources in your body. In this situation your body looks to its fat stores for energy to fire your workouts. Perfect.

3. You will get more done
If you are at university or have a lot of work to do then getting up early is the best solution. Morning hours are much more productive; you are more alert and much more awake. You will also increase the number of hours you have available to do chores and so on which will lighten your load.

A summary of what you need to know to be an early riser

• Avoid coffee, wine and chocolate around bed time. It upsets the acids in your stomach and disturbs sleep.
• Go to bed at the same time each night; even if it is late.
• Wake at the same time each day; even on weekends.
• Don’t have too much food or drink before bedtime.
• Make sure you aren’t too hot or too cold when you sleep.
• Put your alarm far away from your bed so you have to physically get up to turn it off.
• Make a firm promise that you will get up at a certain time.
• Have a solid reason as to why you need to get up.
• Do not engage in ‘mind games’ that keep you asleep and lazy.

[.] Missing in Genting Highlands... Found in Singapore? [.]

This kinda mysterious... Granny who only has $20 in her handbag, no passport, no extra clothes, and she survived about 400km going back to Singapore... No one knows how she get back to Singapore without passport... Read this article...

" A grandmother who went missing in Genting Highlands a week ago has been found – in Singapore.

The 73-year-old, who suffers from mild dementia and depression, somehow managed to travel more than 400km south and across the border without her passport and bus ticket, and with a handbag containing less than $20 in Singapore currency.

After almost six days of frantic searching, the family of Voon Choot Yin finally found her waiting for them at a police station in Tanglin yesterday.

However, she could not tell them how she made her way back from Genting Highlands. Her sandals, bag and watch were missing.

She was spotted at 3.30am yesterday by Tommy Lin, 34, a resident of Kim Yam Heights in River Valley.

More than five hours later, Voon’s family was asked to pick her up from the Tanglin police division headquarters.

Her granddaughter Susan Koh, 29, and son immediately rushed to bring her home to Bishan.

Voon had arrived at the hill resort in Malaysia last Thursday with five relatives for a short trip, and she went missing from a casino the day after.

The family said it received news on Tuesday from the Singapore High Commission in Kuala Lumpur that arrival records showed Madam Voon had entered Singapore on Sunday.

Though mystified, her family was relieved to have her home.

Koh told The Straits Times that one of the first things Voon did when she got home was to take a shower and then a long nap.

All she could remember about her long journey home was that she knew she was lost but needed to return to Singapore "

hahaha~ So... what do you think?
