Creepy WWI coincidence to ponder

The 1911 Gräf & Stift Bois de Boulogne limousine Archduke Franz Ferdinand was riding in at the time of his assassination in Sarajevo. It still has the original license plate, A 111 118, which could be interpreted as 'Armistice 11-11-18'
11

I have seen that car when I visited that museum. How many others can say this around here? I'm betting only me.

Can't see the plate, but the inset says "A III 118," which cannot be so interpreted, at least not reasonably.

Lofty travels, mate. I'm refraining from Europe for the time being as ISIS is planning tons of attacks on innocents in the near future. However, once Islam is defeated I will be back in Europe celebrating her history as frequently as possible

Did you see it in the Bosnian or Serbian language? You must be like one of those international men of mystery who can blend in to any culture without raising an eyebrow. A regular Jason Bourne.

And, if you put the last 1 and 8 together, and read it backwards you get 9/11 + A 11, which is for American flight 11, which crashed into the World Trade Center.

That is, in part, why I used the word "reasonably." It's not really an interpretation anyway, its more of a projection. It's like seeing objects in clouds, it's what you want to see, not what is really there. So there is nothing to be proved wrong.

Hey, I'm on a roll here. GTFO with that "reasonably" nonsense.

I've seen it. I've also seen in person Tommy Hodson's earthquake TD pass. Also saw the Cannon run on Halloween night.

Abraham Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy.
John Kennedy's secretary was named Lincoln.
Coincidence?

This is one of those coincidences that isn't a coincidence at all; it's simply wrong. John Kennedy did have a secretary named Evelyn Lincoln (who may or may not have warned him about going to Dallas), but one searches in vain to find a Lincoln secretary named Kennedy. (Lincoln's White House secretaries were John G. Nicolay and John Hay.)
The more important point is that since Presidents are frequent recipients of assassination threats, they rarely make any public appearances without somebody's warning them of potential danger. Only on the extemely rare occasions when a tragedy actually occurs do we later take note of the warnings; in all other cases the failed "prophecies" are quickly forgotten. (Lincoln received "an unusual number of letters about plots to kidnap or assassinate him," said to have numbered at least eighty, yet none of those plots were enacted.) Nor does anyone think to mention other attempts at kidnap or assassination that were not preceded by any recorded warnings to the victims. (Lincoln was shot at on at least one other occasion.)
Yes, Lincoln was warned not to go to Ford's Theatre by persons concerned for his safety, just as he had been warned not to visit Richmond a week earlier, and just as he had been warned not to attend his own inauguration in 1861. Obviously, only one of the myriad of warnings he received throughout his four years in office was on the mark. Likewise, Kennedy was warned not to visit San Antonio the day before his trip to Dallas (and undoubtedly before a host of other appearances as well), but only the last warning he allegedly received is considered significant, because it coincidentally happened to come true. As Jeane Dixon and other "psychics" have demonstrated, if you make enough predictions, one of them is eventually bound to come true; the public remembers only that and forgets about all the others failed predictions.
