[QUOTE="ratio411, post: 1160272, member: 26729"]Wow... that site was so condescending and sarcastic about the similarities that it makes the similarities even more impressive when it downplays them!

Yes, it is notable when you see all the others, most of which are true. The main one that was factually disputed was Lincoln having a staff member named Kennedy, but the other half, Kennedy having a staff member named Lincoln is true and novel in it's own right.
