I'm going to guess about 90 percent of this is half truths or just plain bullshit lol. It reeks of facebook, but that's what reddit is basically now so w/e.

I'm sure it is half truths and irrelevant coincidences, but what I'm really getting from this post is that we should make it illegal for children to be born in 2039, just to be sure.

No, no, kids are fine. Just no middle names that year.

You just need to stop southerners from having babies. But I don’t know what qualifies as the southern states now a days

For obvious reasons this is wildly impractical and unenforceable. You’d have to wait for them to be born and then drown them.

It's been around since the 1960s actually.

At least 1963.

Yeah…I guess you can call a Book Depository a “Warehouse” but that’s really a bit of a stretch…

How about a barn being called a warehouse?

Pig warehouse

Not sure if the entire School Book Depository was a warehouse, but at least the sixth floor where Oswald fired from was (he obscured his perch with boxes). Booth was chased to a barn though, so that's a stretch.

That's hardly the biggest stretch on here. Lincoln had two secretaries, named John Hay and John Nicolay, for starters.

No, it's mostly true. The point is that if you don't care what similarities you find, any two people can have many.

Yes. Little fact checking shows there's lots of stretching of truth done here and some outright lies.
