Spoooky CoincidenceB3ta's very own Fraser was once a cycle courier. On one job out to docklands his radio gave out, so he had to find a public phonebox to ring back to base.
He'd just located one when it began to ring. Picking it up, it was (obviously) a wrong number, but Fraser recognised the voice. Turned out it was a mate of his he hadn't seen for ages.

Not very spoookyI think I read somewhere that if you are in room with about fifty people, the chances that two will have the same birthday is very high. So high that you could probably make some money by betting on it with the people in the room. I do not know the mathematics, but I am sure you do.
Also, imagine you listen to your i-pod every day. Maybe, about twenty songs. How many lyrics are there? It would be a bit odd if every once or so, life did not match your songs. This happened to me one morning when I was listening to 'Everybody hurts' by REM just as a little boy fell over and hurt his knee. And back in 1991, when I was in London, a friend was playing some of his old punk records while the t.v. was on with the sound off. When 'Babylon is Burning' by the Ruts came on, the news was showing Iraq in flames. But it failed to show a white man in the Hammersmith Palais, the World turning Day-glo, or Anarchy breaking out in the UK.
Well, you don't think that clearly after an eighth of an ounce of L'herbe de Libanon.
I was walking round a delicatessen that specialises in British food the other week though and as Musical Youth's 'Pass the Dutchy' came on my i-pod, I was passing some produce from the Organic Dutchy Originals brand...and it was on my left-hand side.
Now that was spooky.
