Of course no meaning exists. It's just fun. Though in this case, the pattern doesn't work at all.
On that note, Fred Travalena, who's famous for doing impressions of celebrities (having once did an impression of all the presidents from JFK to GWB giving a bastardization of the Oath of Office, though not nearly as butchered as what Obama would later give us :)), has died as well. I had heard of him before he died, but I never knew his name. I watched some videos of him on YouTube today though, and he was pretty talented.
Speaking of patterns in death as well as presidents, ever heard of the 0-year curse? It's a curse that states that any president elected in a year ending in 0 will die in office. Every president elected in a 0-year from 1840 to 1960 has indeed died in office.
1840: William Henry Harrison (died 1841)
1860: Abraham Lincoln (reelected 1864, died 1865)
1880: James A. Garfield (died 1881)
1900: William McKinley (previously elected 1896, died 1901)
1920: Warren G. Harding (died 1923)
1940: Franklin D. Roosevelt (previously elected 1932 and 1936, reelected 1944, died 1945)
1960: John F. Kennedy (died 1963)
1980: Ronald Reagan (narrowly survived assassination attempt in 1981, broke curse?)
One myth states that the Native American chief Tecumseh put a curse on William Henry Harrison, a war hero from the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811, when he was elected president, which would cause him and every other president elected in a 0-year to die in office. The only other president to die in office was Zachary Taylor, elected in 1848 and died in 1850. He may not have been elected in a 0-year, but he died in a 0-year, so some will try to work him into the curse.
However, the fact that there are exceptions to the curse, which is already selective enough in which presidents will die in office, proves that this curse is just a crock of shit, and the fact that half (debatably three quarters if you think Taylor and Harding were deliberately poisoned) of the presidents who died in office were assassinated shows that there was no cosmic alignment of the planets dictating that they would die, but rather that these ill-fated men were the victims of premeditated acts of murder. Furthermore, the odds of a president being elected in a 0-year are at least one in five, even greater if the president is reelected (four times in FDR's case, so the odds of him dying in office were very high).
There's also some bullshit about a Kennedy clan curse and about parallels between the Lincoln and Kennedy assassinations, mostly dealing with the number of letters in people's names or some other superficial bullshit, but I won't get into those right now.
