Did you bother to fact-check the claims?
Perhaps you meant for this to be a "ha ha ha" joke thread on the account of the last entry?

In any case, have a safe trip to the Philippines.

I think it is interesting to think about, but I do not think there is any real connection between the two.

There are so many potential unlikely coincidences that, even though only a very tiny fraction of them actually becomes reality, unlikely coincidences are actually pretty common. See also the improbability principle.

I did. Everything is correct except for two things:

The building Boothe was caught in would be better descibed as a barn than a warehouse, though a case could be made that a barn is technically a warehouse.

Kennedy couldn't have been in Marilyn Monroe a week before his assassination because she had been dead a year at the time of his assasination. But Lincoln *was* in Monroe Maryland a week before, so while that particular comparison is incorrect, it's too good to pass up...
