Coincidences, Whoo.....

Weird how the vast majority of my spooky coincidences relate to an iPod on shuffle.

COINCIDENCE?!?

Just learnt this one: the numberplate of the car Archduke Ferdinand was in when he was shot was A III 118. The war caused by that incident ended on A(rmistice day) 11/11/18.

I'm listening to Neil Cicierega's Mouth Dreams where a mashup of Wannabe and Beethoven's Fifth is followed by a mashup of Say It Ain't So and In the Hall of the Mountain King. I'm also watching a random Penn & Teller Fool You on Youtube and one guy does his trick to Beethoven's Fifth, immediately followed by In the Hall of the Mountain King. :O stop the simulation now please.

one the guy

I googled the name of someone in the news plus a location as I was trying to remember when an event happened.
The second google result was about a court case involving two people, each sort of sharing part of their name with the person I googled, in the location I was googling.

I had been on the jury for that court case.

Was just watching the film The High and the Mighty (1954), a successful Cinemascope production which is now credited with establishing the template for the 1970s disaster film.

In it, Sidney Blackmer plays a prominent character named Humphrey Agnew. In the year 1969 the US had two Vice Presidents, named Humphrey and Agnew.

Spiro Agnew resigned from the office of Vice President in October 1973, four days after Sidney Blackmer died.
