Well maybe about once a week or more this happens...

I'm reading something online, usually an article. I come across a not so common word like...."bizarre", "incredible", "unbelievable" etc. Then right when I read that word I hear someone on the TV say that word!! Freaks me out.... I mean its not like a common word, "the" "a" "hi"etc but more unsual words. Anyone else get this to this keeps happening for some reason but maybe its common?

 

Coincidence, pure and simple.

Read anything by John Allen Paulos - Innumeracy, Beyond Innumaracy, A Mathematician Reads the Newspaper - for a good discussion of coincidence.

And don't let it get to you.

 

hey thats cool but still kinda freeky! I listen to coast to coast AM alot with Art bell and george.

 

I once had a dream with five different postage stamps in it. I thought it was wierd so I played a lottery here in MN that you have to choose five numbers. I never won. The numbers did come up, really. Three years later. Would have won $150k.


Does that count as a coincidence? Or am do I suffer from premature psychu-lation?

 

3 years later maybe if it was 3 days
