Strange coincidences.

[Mojo]

Okay, just last week I had finished BioShock Infinite and was still going over the plot in my head figuring out the details and such.
Anyway, my dad came home from his usual walk with our dog and told me he'd found an old softball in the fields that he threw for our dog. Nothing special right? I ignored it until two days ago when It was my turn to walk the dog. I picked up the ball because I knew she would expect me to trow something for her and this way I didn't have to find a branch or something.

Spoiler: Then I took a closer look at the ball.

(Oh, and for those who didn't get the chance to play the first hour or so of BioShock Infinite you will not get this. If you don't mind minor spoilers Google "Bioshock Infinite raffle".)

My first reaction was: Wtf? I swear I didn't do that myself and there is NO way my dad did it or that the person who lost the ball in the first place could have know about that.

So, for discussion value, anyone of you have any really weird coincidences or something you remember?

My friend and I were playing Guitar Hero IV one summer, specifically "Beat It." Literally the second we finish the song, my mom walks in and tells us that Michael Jackson just died.

We were like "Damn, we weren't THAT bad, were we?"

The day I rented my first Ingmar Bergman movie, the man dropped dead. I've felt somewhat guilty ever since.

A few days after i found myself enjoying the work of a Japanese singer, the woman died of liver cancer. Similarly a few days after i began to really get into George Carlin's work, the man died.

I wonder if Dane Cook or Yakov Smirnoff would die if i feigned affection for them.
