From Lincoln to JFK, all US presidents elected in years that were multiples of 20 died in office. Reagan, by surviving Hinckley's assassination attempt, broke the pattern.
 
there was a French politician who after the signing of the Versailles treaty said that the war had just been postponed for twenty years. He was only off by a few days.

There was also a newspaper cartoon which showed one of the Big Three saying "Strange, I seem to hear a child weeping". In the corner is a baby boy with a label round his neck saying "class of 1940".
 
Washington corresponded with a number of people on various things. One of them was Scottish agricultural writer Sir John Sinclair. They were rather enthusiastic about hemp, as I recall.
A few centuries later, a prominent music figure was arrested for trying to simply distribute a small quantity of hemp, which led to a major music concert on his behalf, drawing in everyone from the MC5 to Phil Ochs to John Lennon. His name? John Sinclair.

Not true. Cleveland vs Harrison means the rule was either broken in 1884 or 1888.
...on further checking, there were three more such win/lose lose/win pairs in the historical record.
I strike that and put in another coincidence: People believed in the first one I put!

;)
 
Napoleon Bonaparte and the Duke of Wellington were born in the same year ....
.... makes all the arguments about Napoleon being past his prime at Waterloo a bit specious!

Well, the most famous one is

Jefferson and Adams dying on the same day, exactly 50 years after July 4, 1776
Speaking of Adams, I like that he said

I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. My sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history, naval architecture, navigation, commerce, and agriculture, in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelain.

And his son ended up studying politics and war.
 
On Timurlane's tomb is an inscription that states "whomsoever opens my tomb shall unleash an invader even more terrible than I."

The Soviets began exhuming the tomb the day before Operation Barbarossa.
 
"And his son ended up studying politics and war.And his son ended up studying politics and war."

At least his descendents fared better
 
Biggest coincidence in recent memory is probably there being terror drills going on the same exact targets as actually occurred during the 7-7-2005 bombings in London:

POWER: At half past nine this morning we were actually running an exercise for a company of over a thousand people in London based on simultaneous bombs going off precisely at the railway stations where it happened this morning, so I still have the hairs on the back of my neck standing up right now.

HOST: To get this quite straight, you were running an exercise to see how you would cope with this and it happened while you were running the exercise?

POWER: Precisely, and it was about half past nine this morning, we planned this for a company and for obvious reasons I don’t want to reveal their name but they’re listening and they’ll know it. And we had a room full of crisis managers for the first time they’d met and so within five minutes we made a pretty rapid decision that this is the real one and so we went through the correct drills of activating crisis management procedures to jump from slow time to quick time thinking and so on.

(BBC Radio Interview, 7 July 2005)

P.S. I am not saying there was a conspiracy or something, it should rightfully go down as the biggest coincidence in recent memory, however.
