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.

this isn't a coincidencebut it's a response to the many 'how I met my partner' stories. It's also true (according to Wikipedia).
"[Richard] Garfield has personally created three Magic cards celebrating events in his life: One card, named simply as 'Proposal' was used for his marriage proposal to Lily Wu during a game of Magic. The card was created by pasting a color photocopy onto another card. Its text read 'Allows Richard to propose marriage to Lily. If the proposal is accepted both players win; mix the cards in play, both libraries, and both graveyards as a shared deck'. It is popularly believed to have taken four games before Garfield drew the card, but the proposal was accepted."
the awesome thing about this story, is that when the card didn't come up, he didn't just pull the card out of his deck: oh no, he kept playing until it did. You are a true nerd, sir, and I salute you.
