I think this is too much of a coincidence to be a coincidence.

Today I bought a shirt that says CCCP and features the hammer and sickle on the front. When the cashier rang it up the price with tax came to $19.17 which is the year the russian revolution started.

What are the chances of that?

1. Sweet serendipity.

Mmmm.

2. Sounds like a Don Delillo thing to me.

Lookin' at the numbers. Z.B., US Air 427 crashes on 9/8/94. 4+2+7=13. Delillo loves that kind of shit!

3. About the same as the chances

that you won't spend a lovely winter at Gitmo since the CIA now knows you're a commie through bar-code technology.

4. This morning I was reading

Sunset's Western Garden Book and I was reading the section on how to sprout your own pineapple. I was reading it and thinking it was totally freakish.

Then I went to the store and they had pineapple plants, which I had never seen before!

Good times...

5. More amazing coincidence...

When I opened your post I happened to be listening to a Stereolab song called "Slow Fast Hazel." The lyrics that came on as I read it were, "Philosophy, the Soviets and other events in history..."
I'm not making this up!

6. Be more impressive if the receipt tape had been red because it

was almost out :hi:

7. Just around the time I was conceived, 46 different chromosomes with

exactly the same genes as my genome got together in my mother's fallopian tubes.

The odds of that were 1 in 70,368,744,177,664. Strange but true.
