    Due to two facts:

    1. The samurai class in Japan officially lasted way later than you probably think

    2. The earliest primitive fax machine existed much earlier than you probably think.

    It is technically possible for Abraham Lincoln to have received a fax from a samurai.

    There’s no evidence it ever happened, but it technically could have happened.
