Coincidence

Ali Larter para su apariencia en el evento de Hollywood Domino Tournament hace un par de días coincidentalmente eligió el mismo vestido de Ungaro que llevaba Eva Longoria en agosto durante los Alma Awards. ¿En qué color te gusta más?Ali Larter for her appearance at the Hollywood Domino Tournament a couple of days ago has coincidentally chosen the same Ungaro dress Eva Longoria wore during Alm

Strange thing, coincidence. It happens when you least expect. Cool I recall many years ago whilst seconded to a company in Nigeria. I was relaxing on Badagry Beach, when someone stood in the line of sun and said, "Hey-up, youth! What're you doin' here?" It was a lad I once knew from Leek in... [[ This is a content summary only.

Two men walk into a bar. One sits at one end of the bar and the other at the opposite end. The bartender asks the first man what he wants.I'll have a Frizzle. That's a beer with a splash of tonic, a splash of orange juice, a squeeze of lemon, no lime."Then the man at the other end of the bar orders."Make mine a Frizzle. It's a beer with just a bit of tonic, a bit of orange juice, a squeeze of lemo

Kelly Rowland no se comió mucho la cabeza eligiendo modelito para el evento "La Noche Glamurosa en Milano" en Just Cavalli Cafe, organizado como parte de Milan Fashion Week 2008. Lució el mismo vestido negro de Roberto Cavalli que hace dos años llevaba durante una party privada y que, coicidentalmente, es el mismo que primero lució Victoria Beckham para la presentación de Roberto Cavalli dura

Hay pocos ojos que la semana pasada no se fijaron en la presencia de Eva Herzigová en el Festival de Cine en Venecia. Llevaba esta maravilla de Valentino Alta Costura Primavera 2007. Y estaba espectacular. Pero ya no tantos ojos vieron a la estrella Italiana Michelle Hunziker en Febrero el año pasado durante el 57 Festival de Música en Sanremo lucir el mismo modelazo creado por el maestro Valen

Is it just another meaningless coincidence? In an earlier post, ‘OSAMA AND OBAMA: SAUL AND PAUL’, I had highlighted the many similarities between Osama and Obama, both of whom are creating history. Depending on which side of the seemingly unbridgeable divide you are, metaphorically one of them is Paul, and the other Saul. The war that Obama will have to fight against Osama, should he become

You might have heard that Jeremy Shoemaker’s (www.shoemoney.com) twitter account with user name “shoemoneymedia” was deleted by twitter for some violation of rule and within few hours this account was taken by another person and started tweeting in the name of Jeremy.

I woke up yesterday morning to no water. Then I flipped the light switch and found no power. Of course, my first thought was that La ENEE got their records mixed up and came back to turn off our electricity again! But the fact that we had no water was a sure sign that the whole colonia was without power. I'm not sure if La Ceiba was without power or not, but it must have been a planned outage as i

Amy Winehouse para su actuación en Glastonbury Festival el finde pasado eligió el mismo vestido de Luella que vimos a otra cantante, Corinne Bailey Rae, en Febrero este año durante los Grammy Awards. Amy Winehouse for her performance during the Glastonbury Festival last weekend has chosen the same Luella dress we saw on other singer, Corinne Bailey Rae, back in February during the Grammy Awards

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that after just two days of posting “Cardboard Cops” on this blog, I get my first speeding ticket since 1991. Yep, I was ticketed going 40MPH in a 25MPH zone. They were motorcycle cops, well hidden behind bushes and I got nailed. I thought maybe he was just going to tell me to slow down. Hell no, it’s the end of the month and these guys need the money

Hoy en el metro vi la marquesina de la Cuatro anunciando la incorporación de la serie "Betty" a la pantalla.

This coincidence  shows you how the Egypt , Syria and Lebanon are too close to each whether on the Governmental level or the public level. Last Week Mubarak announced a 30% raise in Egypt Last week Bashar announced a 25% raise in Syria Then this week the Egyptian Government raised the prices of fuel products along with other products Also this week the Syrian Government raised the prices of fuel products along with other products To Lebanon The Pro-American Cabinet that no one wants it more because of its economic and political decisions raised the prices of fuel products along with other products and now people are really angry not because of sectarian reasons or Hezbollah or Iran but because of the prices.

From: The Cryptic Cosmology of Synchromysticism   "I needed something to explain a way of investigating subjects with synchronicities and the word seemed to fit... My biggest inspiration for this kind of thinking and investigating came from Goro Adachi at Etemenanki. Goro calls his research multi-contextual." The synchromysticism research Jake Kotze publishes on his websites include information-dense videos, artwork and articles punctuated by images illustrating various mystic/pop culture linkages. His articles and videos usually focus on esoteric symbols or memes (possibly stemming from a collective unconscious mind) reoccurring throughout a wide range of sources, especially mass media. Such symbols include numbers, words, archetypes, shapes and various visual motifs or p

I happened to be playing with Prosperous Land visitor statistics and I happened to notice that about 10% of my web traffic in March came from San Francisco. What are the odds? While I'm mentioning the site, I'll working up the mental fortitude to tinker with the site layout. It's a confluence of Google adding some cool (beta) widgets to the Blogger system and my desire to get away from one of

Hace un ratito estaba repasando las portadas de las revistas de Diciembre y Enero. Y encontré una interesante coincidencia en tres de ellas. Few minutes ago I was going through the magazine covers of December and January. And I found an interesting coincidence on three of them.David está perfectamente conjuntado con Victoria, cuyo modelito es casi idéntico al de Keira.

Some days the world seems like a very big place, and everywhere you go, you are surrounded by strangers. Other days, you leave your office late (and in a foul mood) and, on the way to Metro, run into your friend on the street -- and wind up going to grab dinner and watch football. Those are the good days.

This is either a case of subliminal product placement, sheer coincidence or unadulterated thievery.“Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium”Photo courtesy of IMDbWhat does the “Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium” film trailer have in common with Visa’s new, happy-go-lucky “juggling” commerical?1) They use Danny Elfman’s “Pee Wee’s Big Adventure” theme.2) They’re both set in similiar toy stores.Visa’s currently running “juggling” advertisement.Screenshot created by Adam Fendelman from Visa’s TV spotIt’s possible that creative folks from two starkly different groups imagined up similiar campaigns using precisely the same song. It’s possible they were designed to go public at the same time completely unacquainted with what was in the works at the other camp.Of course, it’s also certainly possible this isn’t a coincidence at all. Time will tell. See the movie trailer here. See the Visa ad here (scroll down to the “View ‘Juggling’ TV Commercial” link)

  This is actually really freaky!! (mainly the end part, but read it   all first) 1) New York City has 11 letters 2) Afghanistan has 11 letters. 3) Ramsin Yuseb has 11 letters . (The terrorist who threatened to destroy the Twin Towers in   1993) 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) 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.

I'm starting to think I might have psychic powers. Lately, my dreams have been verging on prophetic.Example the First: I dreamt that Emma was refusing to go to bed and kept knocking on her bedroom door asking to be let out. What woke me from this dream? Emma knocking.Example the Second: I dreamt that the girls in the church youth group I'm a leader of took up smoking. Later, in the waking world, when I opened the lesson manual to see what lesson I needed to prepare for Sunday the title was "Physical Health."Example the Third: I dreamt about spiders off and on all night last night. When I woke up? I had a spider bite on my leg.I only hope I use my powers for good and not for evil.

aqua bear cd mem Yesterday I had a great conversation with a fellow femgeek from uni, it was just sending links to each other we only really speak gibberish to each other. Then the scariest thing happened - we sent each other the same link of the same video but on different sites at exactly the same time! Just look at the time stamp, it was at exactly the same time according to my chat logs! 21:09:28 friend: http://www.spikedhumor.com/articles/119628/Minesweeper_The_Movie.html 21:09:28 xhan104: http://kotaku.com/gaming/clips/minesweeper-the-movie-286639.php ---Related Articles at eruANNA.net:Hans guide to gettind rid of Dirty Old MenThe DoctorsA scandal and how scary is the internet!!An eventful day topped off with an original title!

The other day I was chatting with one of my dear friends. Suddenly the manner in which we got introduced came up! Whenever we discuss this, we both seem to enjoy our strange encounter. One day while mailing one of my penfriends, I was a little absent minded and typed the id wrong. The mail went to a wrong person. But it was so sweet of this guy to re-send that mail and invite me to his chat list. From then on we have shared a very special relationship with each other. He is one of the most approachable online friends I have ever interacted with. del.icio.us Digg Furl Google reddit BlogMarks CiteUlike Lycos Netscape RawSugar Spurl Squidoo

I wonder if each of us, for one day, prayed to Al Pacino, how many of the things we prayed for would materialize over the next 10 years? Would any of us then conclude that Al Pacino has magical powers? That he’s a God? Granted Al Pacino is a rather fantastic actor but I doubt even he would purport to have godlike powers. Garrett Toren, Editor of ‘The Meaning of Life’ believes that his grandfather, through God, sent down a piano as he had promised to do before he died: I am sure there is a heaven, and that my Grandpa is there. Here’s why: When I was a boy, my mother gave piano lessons to augment our small income. Our piano was an old upright that was so decrepit that it couldn’t be tuned, and had several keys that didn’t play at all. We couldn’t afford a better one. My grandfather, whose name was Joseph Weber, came to spend the last few months of his life with us. I don’t know what he was suffering from, but he was very ill and couldn’t get up from his be

Six years ago TODAY I got in a car accident that virtually destroyed the front end of my truck. In that particular accident, I was leaving Gold's Gym and driving down the center lane of the parking lot when a car came flying around the corner and slammed into me. The female driver hit me so hard that I spun around. It was so hard that I flew sideways out of my seat belt. You would of thought that my five-year-old truck would be totalled, but it got fixed by the insurance company and was as good as new.My point....in some kind of weird coincidence or curse...TODAY, while driving home from work, I hit a tractor trailer and destroyed the entire passenger side of my vehicle. The passenger door was even torn completely off. Don't worry, I wasn't injured. The road I was on has a speed limit of 65 MPH, which I was obeying. In fact, I think I was going a bit slower than that because my right turn was coming up. The huge tractor trailer was off on the shoulder, but partially blocking my lane

Happy Birthday Fred "Gopher" Grandy!You know, it takes major league cojones to go on in politics/commentary when people just can't stop thinkin' bout you as "Gopher".He needs to meet me and find out just how cool former Iowans can be. However, I don't remember him running for governor of Iowa back in the day. I would have voted for him just to say I had "Gopher" for governor. Hell, couldn't have been any worse than "The Governator".I am still nervous about seeing Mom. My friends have all said to think positive, and I'm trying to even though it goes against every fiber of my being. But I also know my propensity for opening mouth/inserting foot on a regular basis. I don't want to say anything that'll make her sad, but sometimes I miss Dad so much I feel like she's one of the few people that will understand it. Oh shit...now I'm crying. I'm such a dork.I hate this.Anyway...there's not a lot of stuff I find of interest as far as current events/Hollyweird stuff. I don't

I just ordered a glass of champagne, too!"He turned to her and said, "What a coincidence. This is a special day for me, I'm celebrating.""This is a special day for me, too, and I'm also celebrating!" says the woman."What a coincidence," says the man. They clinked glasses and he asked, "What are you celebrating?""My husband and I have been trying to have a child. Today, my gynecologist told me I'm pregnant!""What a coincidence," says the man. "I'm a chicken farmer and my last batch of hens were infertile, but today they're finally fertile.""That's great!" says the woman, "How did your chickens become fertile?""I switched cocks", he replied."What a coincidence", she said.

Archbishop Desmond Tutu has been robbed. His crib in Soweto was ransacked and apart from a couple of TV's and a DVD player being pinched, the man had his Nobel Peace Prize medal taken. Luckily the medal has been recovered (along with the aforementioned electronic goods) and the crooks are apparently in custody. I find this odd because Charles over at Diogenes Lamp fancies himself as a book maker. In his post entitled FIVE TO ONE BAR ONE - ONTHEBOARDILAYA!!! Charles has compiled a list of who he reasonably thinks will win the next Nobel Peace Prize... (more...)

My friend, Sanatan, is an exceptional engraver and trophy maker. He has made exquisite plaques and trophies for such luminaries as Michael Gorbachev, Nelson Mandela and Mother Theresa, to name a few. However, like many artists, he is not that neat in his personal life. His room is a mess and his office looks like a thief has just broken in and ransacked the place! So when Sanatan called me last week from his hotel room and told me that he couldn’t find his passport, I wasn’t at all surprised. .

As I have been exploring many blogs during my participation in the shopautodotca seocontest, I started seeing these things called memes. And I thought what the heck is a meme? So I looked it up, and for those in the shopautodotca seocontest who don't know:A meme refers to a "unit of cultural information" which can propagate from one mind to another.So a blog meme is where someone posts something in their blog, and then other bloggers will respond, and bloggers will respond to those bloggers and so on. It is soon impossible to truly identify the original source. Check out QuixtarBlog for a more elaborate discussion of blog memes. Seems interesting.Why is this a shopautodotca seocontest coincidence? Because I participated in two memes this week on my shopautodotca seocontest blog... Wordless Wedsnesday and Thursday Thirteen. These are weekly, and they are sort of different and more "structured" than the memes I am speaking of above. But it was fun. The Wordless Wednesday post is where y

My son is out of hospital and back home. It's a great relief, but for my wife a source of concern. When he was in hospital she perceived him as 'being safe'. Now that he is home she worries that he will be ok.The day my son was taken into hospital, the son of my boss was taken into hospital, and we met in the hospital ward at Thursday lunchtime. I was visiting my son and she was with her son. The company I work for isn't huge (but it's not minute either) so it was a weird coincidence that we should be at the same hospital at the same time for similar reasons. Somebody from the same department was off work on the same day because his new born daughter was also ill that day.It all seems very weird, but humans are pattern seeking creatures. We seek out patterns from the jumble of events and try to impose order where none exists. So it was strange that so many events that we can choose to describe in similar terms happened on the same day, but then it is tempting to start look

Take a look at this map. Does the color distribution of the states look vaguely familiar? Somewhat similar the blue state / red state election results below?2004 Presidential results2006 Congressional resultsWe regularly visit the Everbody Votes channel on the Wii where they put up opinion polls which you answer and you can view the results about a week later. It's also good way to get Adam to read. So the magic question which resulted in the politically divided map was:Do you wear perfume / cologne?Where 'yes' got pink and 'no' got green. So I guess all those redneck (I mean conservative) states are all doused in perfume as well! I love to make funny generalizations about political preference and totally unrelated attributes, but this one takes the cake!

A friend is never a coincidence in your life, they are meant to enter your life to bring you joy and laughter. So, i will treasure the friendship between us.

More than 15 hours after publishing my entry on the 7 new wonders of the world, the excellent Brazilian journalist Ricardo Freire has just published a very similar entry here. I would like to put on record that my post came first. I am, under no circumnstances, suggesting Ricardo found inspiration on my text. Among other things, because I doubt he is aware of the existence of either this blog or his Spanish counterpart De viaje a Brasil; because he is an independent journalist beyond the slightest doubt; and because I seem to recall this is not the first time he writes about the subject. Great minds think alike! - though I say so myself!

Just so happens, that after my last post about how much I like lights (shutup, I don’t tease you about your fetishes); four of the lights in our house blew. I was going to offer to help replace them, but then I thought; “I don’t know how”. And then I realised, “holy shit, I can’t replace a light, and I can’t even cook a poached egg and I’m supposed to be living out of home by this time next year!”. I opened up Woman’s Weekly Basic Cooking Book and flipped through to the section where it said “eggs”. I’m surprised how basic it actually goes. I found it difficult to believe people had trouble frying eggs, but alas - some are not as gifted as others. How beautiful is my perfect poached egg on toast. Although my milf keeps telling me white bread is the devil incarnate, I enjoyed it to that stage where you leg starts trembling and you get that bizarre rise in your pants. My milf then told me it was too small, so

In my last blog I mentioned how helpful the assistant to the Turkish city of Belek was in my quest to get permission do a record at the famous ancient Roman amphitheatre at Aspendos. I found the affable fellow in the restaurant of the hotel I was staying at. He was having lunch with his staff and he invited me to join them. Something unusual happened at the lunch that I wasn't sure was worth mentioning. But here goes! I introduced myself to everyone at the table and showed them my photo in the 2007 Guinness Book. After seeing the page, the assistant to the mayor got very excited and he immediately began making calls to find the number of the mayor in charge of Aspendos. Although he was talking in Turkish, I could tell that he got the number because his eyes were roving the table looking for a piece of paper or napkin to write on. Everyone had already finished eating and there were no clean napkins around, but bananas must have been served for dessert because there was an empty peel on

From the keyboard of Phil Harris, "Sportsman" himself I have a story, about an evening in a hotel in Holland which, depending on what you like to believe, is either mildly curious, or the work of the Devil. I will let you decide which. I am lucky enough to be able to visit the Corus tournament...

Daimler's long term corporate credit rating was upgraded today by S&P, from a BBB+ to an A-. Thomson Financial News (via CNN Money) quotes the S&P report saying "it expects Mercedes-Benz cars to be able to improve profitability further, based on the new models available and the better resilience to adverse economic trends generally attributed to premium cars, despite the weakening of the U.S. automotive market, where about one-fifth of Mercedes-Benz cars are sold." Got all that? With earnings on track to meet investor goals, Daimler is not resting on its laurels. The Car Connection reports that Daimler will be upping R&D spending considerably, with plans to drop $21b between now and 2010. Claiming that Daimler has made significant breakthroughs in Lithium
