Obama: The Curse of American Presidents

The scar on the head of President Barack Obama, which extends from the top of his head to the right ear has generated many rumors. Bloggers from the US have their own version- he has been "zombied" by aliens, or the Masons conducted surgery on his brain. While bloggers continue to build a conspiracy theory, here are some indisputable facts: In 1840 William Henry Harrison was elected as US president, but died before the end of his term of office. In 1860 Abraham Lincoln became president, but was later assassinated. Heads of the White House elected in 1880 (James Garfield, 1900 William McKinley, and 1920 Warren G. Harding, also died for various reasons before the end of their terms. This phenomenon was studied in 1940, after the death of Warren G. Harding. In 1927, it appeared in one of the books on numerology. Then it was noticed that there is a sequence of the "fourth president": From Harrison, every fourth president died before the end of his term of office. These were: Zachary Taylor, elected in 1848, Lincoln, Garfield and McKinley. The length of their terms did NOT matter: Numerology 'experts' have warned that this sequence may continue!
