So what's your view on this? Coincidence or Conspiracy?

he was in Marilyn Monroe

What? Am I missing something?

[Martian]

Yeah, I noticed that too.

But, er... just... forget about that part.

[Alcar]

Wow, and all of that is true?

Rather spooky if you ask me.

Alcar...

LMAO!

Both were shot in the head.

Are you sure? Because there was a programme on the television the other night about Kennedy being shot, and it had the bullet going through him below the neck around the shoulder somewhere. I wasn't actually watching it, because I don't give a rats arse about presidents, but I overheard it whilst reading.

[Rich]

Didn't the side of his head get a large wound? As in bits flying off?

[Fez]

The assassins spirit must have been passed on to Oswald! Or something.......

2039 will be the 3rd coming!

What? Am I missing something?

Kennedy was cheating on his wife with Marilyn Monroe.

Hmm... spooky stuffs.

Random opinion: Bah, Lincoln wasn't that great. Sure, he fought to free the slaves, but at the same time the natives were being robbed of everything.

[TheRaisin]

A little creepy, highly fascinating, and the last sentence is hilarious.

Kennedy was shot in the head. So sayeth my Civics teacher.

A lot of the earlier presidents had their faults. I'm somewhat pissed off that Andrew Jackson called himself a Democrat. Bastard. Thank God times have changed.

[Rich]

Kennedy was cheating on his wife with Marilyn Monroe.

Really, I never knew that. When did Marilyn die?
So it means IN Marilyn Monroe...

[AquaticAmbi]

She died sometime in the early 1960's due to a drug overdose, but there have been many different theories about her death. Some including murder involving Kennedy and his brother, whom, I think, she was also sleeping with.

*Wonders what a car teacher would know about anything*
Meh, I'm just stating what I heard/saw on this documentary. It had a computer program simulator and stuff but I dunno...

[TheRaisin]

That went straight over my head, Fax. Explain, s'il te plait?

Guh.

*Wonders what a car teacher would know about anything*

Okay, this was a jo- A JOKE- at you saying something about a 'civics teacher' when the only Civic I have ever heard of is a car, and I had no idea what you were talking about.

Meh

A term that means "I don't really care".

I'm just stating what I heard/saw on this documentary.

Fairly self-explanatory. Unless you need help understanding 'on'.

It had a computer program simulator and stuff but I dunno...

It (The documentary, which I had just talked about) was using a computer program that simulated the whole scene when he was shot. They made it by using that one film that existed of the incident, and with it, they could see the scene from any angle.
I'm sure that it showed the bullet hitting his shoulder area, but I could be wrong. Maybe there were two bullets.
I don't know, I don't care.

[Scrab Watcher]

Ugh.....freaky...really freaky...

[TheRaisin]

The only part I didn't get was the car joke, Fax. Yet more proof of my "square peg in a round hole"-ness. I mean, a fifteen-year-old guy not getting a joke about CARS? Gasp!

I f*cking hate cars.

I'll bet in Europe guys aren't obsessed with cars. They're probably obsessed with fuel-efficiency, bicycles, effective public transit, and walking. And maybe mopeds, if they're really cool dudes.

I've got another corrolation between these two presidents: they were both killed by male fashion models. Zoolander is hilarious!

No, don't get me wrong, I know nothing about cars, and I hate people that do. All I know is the one that I drive, and ones that are really crap and are good to hassle my friends about when they get one.
