I bought a used car last summer from an ad I saw in the newspaper. As I was signing the title, I noticed that the original name on the title was the same name as my high school chemistry teacher. There's around a million people in the metro area so I figured it's probably just a coincidence, but I asked the woman I was buying the car from about it, just in case. Sure enough, it was him. She turned out to be the widow of my now-deceased chemistry teacher(I hadn't even known he was dead).

This kind of freaked my out for the first couple weeks that I was driving it.

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

Old girlfriend's cellphone number and my then office number ended in the same digits. The same SIX digits.

My name is Daniel DuBois. I picked up some girl at a bar. We go out, etc. I get her address. She lived on DuBois lane.

I used to be in a band with a French-Canadian Zionist Jew who was obsessed with Prince.

No, that's not the weird part.

I went to Chicago for New Year's about 4 years back. On January 2nd I went with the two girls I was visiting to find some good Indian food. The Indian district in Chicago is pretty decent sized, a good thirty or forty Indian restaurants in the area we were exploring.

As we are walking around we were talking about Prince, and one of the young ladies asked what album one song or another was on. It was an early song so I didn't know off the top, but I said, "You know who would know is my buddy Jake."

We finally picked a restaurant. This was about three in the afternoon on January 2nd. There was only one other table in the joint. We walk in and who is there but my buddy Jake, there with his dad. They're the only table in the entire joint in the one Indian restaurant in Chicago we wandered into. We ask him what album the song was on and he tells us. Turns out he was in Chicago with his dad and brother, dropping his brother off at college. They came to get food and left town immediately after.

1. Had AA 4 times in a row on the same table in pokerstars.

2. Traveling in Ireland we stopped at a museum of ancient tools and fossils and stuff. The museum was in some guy's house, and it turns out that he used to live in the same town that I live in now (30,000 people). Not only that but when he was growing up he lived 2 houses down from where I now live.

My two best are too long. #3 is that I ran into a guy I know in New Orleans and a year later in Tennessee. We both live in Michigan and had no idea either would be in said locales.
