Here is one from today. I was a little bored and put my name into google. On of the hits was about someone sharing my name playing in one major league baseball game on August 17, 1897. August 17 is my birthday (although not 1897). [/ QUOTE ] MY birthday is Aug. 17, 1986 [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Re: Big Coincidences You\'ve Experienced
I went to Amsterdam with a couple of friends of mine.
We got onto the train that runs to the city center from the Airport and one of my friends started talking to someone who happened to be from our home town of Coventry. They clearly knew each other. After we got off the train, myself and the other friend asked where he knew the guy from, and his reply was "I was on holiday in the Dominican Republic last month and I met him there. I only remembered him because he said he was from Coventry". The most weird thing about the whole tale was that the guy who had just had this ridiculous coincidence didn't seem to think that it was in the slightest bit unusual. Lori

Re: Big Coincidences You\'ve Experienced
I randomly met a girl at a party at the beginning of grad school on the East Coast. Turns out, my grandparents had sold their house in Los Angeles to her parents and she grew up in the same bedroom my Mom had grown up in.

Re: Big Coincidences You\'ve Experienced
A guy who worked for me was telling me the story of his weekend one Monday -- and I was telling him about mine. The more details we gave, the more it became apparent that the two girls were roommates -- we had been at the same apartment at different times. I went to the lake boating and camping, and came back Sun. meeting the roommate -- he had stayed with my dates roommate Fri/Sat. They lived about 15 mi. from where we lived. We all met in different places. The city was about 2MM at the time. Weird.

Re: Big Coincidences You\'ve Experienced
Just last wweek, my finacee, Sticky Wicket, was on a flight to New York from Las Vegas....she starts having a conversation with the older gentlman next to her. She tells him she's going to NJ....he says he's from NJ....she says, "oh, my finace is from NJ - a small town called Upper Saddle River. " The guy says, "I'm from Upper Saddle River - what's your fiance's name?"
She tells him my last name - his eyes grow wide. "Are you going to marry Dominic or Chris?" The guy was my family's next door neighbor for 20 years! I gew up with him as my "2nd Dad" but we hadn't seen or talked to one another's families in over ten years.
