Dude, a few years back I was in like a mental institution (don't ask) and there was like this one crazy guy who just kept repeating this same set of numbers over and over. So, when I get out I play those numbers in the lotto. Dude, I won $156 million!! Soon after all this bad stuff kept happening, dude, it was like I was cursed by these numbers.

Then I was flying from Sydney to LA and my plane crashed on some deserted island in the middle of the Pacific ocean. Dude, there were like 42 survivors! Then, 30 days after we crashed we come across this weird hatch in the ground. Dude, dude, I'm starving. But that's not the coincidence! Dude, the same numbers I won the lotto with were carved ON the door of the hatch halfway across the world!!!

Later,

This gimmick account is a respectable 6.5 or so.

Re: Big Coincidences You\'ve Experienced
 

I just copied this from a myspace bulletin but thought it fit the topic

1) New York City has 11 letters
2) Afghanistan has 11 letters.
3) Ramsin Yuseb (The terrorist who threatened to destroy the Twin
Towers in 1993) has 11 letters.
4) George W Bush has 11 letters.
This could be a mere coincidence, but this gets more interesting:
1) New York is the 11th state.
2) The first plane crashing against the Twin Towers was flight number
11.
3) Flight 11 was carrying 92 passengers. 9 + 2 = 11
4) Flight 77 which also hit Twin Towers, was carrying 65 passengers.
6+5 = 11
5) The tragedy was on September 11, or 9/11 as it is now known. 9 + 1+ 1 = 11
6) The date is equal to the US emergency services telephone number
911. 9 + 1 + 1 = 11.
Sheer coincidence..?! Read on and make up your own mind:
1) The total number of victims inside all the hi-jacked planes was
254. 2 + 5 + 4 = 11.
2) September 11 is day number 254 of the calendar year. Again 2 + 5 + 4
= 11.
3) The Madrid bombing took place on 3/11/2004. 3 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 11.
4) The tragedy of Madrid happened 911 days after the Twin Towers
incident.
Now this is where things get totally eerie:
The most recognised symbol for the US, after the Stars & Stripes, is
the Eagle. The following verse is taken from the Quran, the Islamic
holy book:
"For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle.
The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo,
while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced: for
the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah and there was
peace."
That verse is number 9.11 of the Quran.
Still uncovinced about all of this..?! Try this and see how you feel
afterwards, it made my hair stand on end:
Open Microsoft Word and do the following:
1. Type in capitals Q33 NY. This is the flight number of the first
plane to hit one of the Twin Towers.
2. Highlight the Q33 NY.
3. Change the font size to 48.
4. Change the actual font to the WINGDINGS

As I was driving to claymont, DE, for work, this summer, I was listening to the radio, and as I got on the Commodore Barry Bridge, "Jumper" by Third Eye Blind came on. It lasted about the entire drive over the bridge. About halfway across, I see a parked police car on the other side of the bridge, and an officer leaning over the edge, presumably talking to a jumper.

Q33NY was not the flight or tail number of either of the planes that were crashed into the World Trade Center that day, the rectangular shapes represent pieces of paper with writing on them, not buildings, and the terrorist attacks were neither perpetrated by nor targeted against Jews.

I did this same feat, except 2,000 song playlist on random. I then proceeded to get the 4th through whatever wrong.

-I look at the clock at 10:54 (AM or PM) randomly and frequently, and it occurs in spurts; last month I must have seen it 25 times without trying.

It seems that everytime I think to look at my odometer while driving, the last digits are 66. I can't count the number of times this has happened over the last few years. It's kinda creepy.

I will admit that I've had a couple of glances at the tripometer reading 105.4 as well.

Re: Big Coincidences You\'ve Experienced
 

I was at a bar in Galway, Ireland. I start talking to the guy next to me and find out he is from Queens. I say, "my good friend from college is from Queens, but I am not going to ask if you know him because Queens is so big." Later he finds out I went to UVA and asks if I know Eddie Gobbo which was one of his good friends growing up in Queens who went to UVA, which of course was my good friend from Queens who I was going to ask him if he knew.

Re: Big Coincidences You\'ve Experienced
 

a few weeks ago, a friend of mine (alex) was over and she wanted to watch some movie i had never heard of. turned out to be "heathers" some 80s flick. im not interested, but she and another friend (mike) of mine watch it, i play poker.

when they finish, my friend (woden) comes in, looking for something to do. so we start drinking, then decide that we want to watch something kinda violent. so woden and i go to another apartment and pick out "resivour dogs".


heres where it got weird.

just as all four of us finish watching resivour dogs, my roommate comes in. i knew he had a class or something that night, but i wasnt sure what. he is pissed that we just finished resivour dogs, because he had to screen it that night in his film class. when he asked what else we did, "heathers" came up. this is when he turned very pale.

as it turned out, in his class that night, they had screened heathers and resivour dogs, in that order, on the same night we watched the same without ever knowing what he was up to.

weird

FYI, Heathers is kinda violent, too. Not on par with Reservoir Dogs, but few movies are.

Anyway, it's a pretty decent dark comedy.
