    Just reading ShadowSong's little dream story coincidence and I wonder if anyone would like to share their most incredible true life coincidence with us. I'll start.

    I lived in Europe for a time when I was young and started my schooling at a Canadian Armed Forces base while overseas. While there I had my photograph taken in class with another student and the picture was plastered in every newspaper across Canada. 20 years later and living in Vancouver I was a season ticket holder for a local sports team. When I attended the games I would always chat with the couple beside me and to make a long story short, it came to pass that the guy I was always talking with was the other student in the photo. To confirm it we both brought the photo, a copy which our parents had given us, into one of the games we attended. I thought the whole thing kind of bizarre.

    thats something.

    mine is a more general type of bizarre event. i never watch t.v., right now my t.v is broken and i havent watched any t.v for weeks. when i do watch i tend to watch old sitcoms often times intermittently. so it is reasonable for me to say that i will watch an epiode and then not watch another for many months later.

    the funny part about this is that i when i DO watch the show again it is the same damn episode that i watched the previous time. honestly this has happened too many times so i think that is bizarre.

    A penny when flipped comin up heads 10 times in a row is very unlikely to hapen... but the fact that it does hapen ant bizarre... it woud be bizarre if it woudnt hapen.!!!

    A woman at work once tolt me that if it rains on a Easter Sunday that it will rain on sunday for the nest 7 weeks in a row.!!!

    The reason this had com up is because it had rained that Easter Sunday... i said that i highliy douted that it woud rain for the nest 7 Sundays in a row but she asured me that it woud... that in the past it had always proved to be true... so i bet her that it woudnt rain on the nest 7 Sundays in a row... well... the nest Sunday it rained... the nest Sunday it rained... the nest Sunday it rained... the nest Sunday it rained an by then she was havin a perty big smile on her face when i woud see her on Monday... but the nest 3 Sundays in a row it was sunny wit near zero threat of rain anywhare in the state... lol.!!!

    I was begin to wonder if i woud have to eat crow cause it coud have rained the nest 3 Sundays... but that still woudnt have made me becom superstitioous.!!!

    I suspect that mos superstitious people like that dont keep very good records an if ther superstition even coms close to comin true they count it as a "hit".!!!

    Superstitious is jus somptin else i ant.!!!

    That always happens to me too. If I've only seen a show once or twice and take a long break from watching it. Whenever I watch it again it's always an episode I've seen before. It drives me nuts.
