The best article I have ever read about coincidence:

And it has helped me to explain the power of randomnes to many people.

I wonder. There is a well documented case of two American identical twins
separated at birth and raised in far distant states yet as adults they both
went to a great deal of trouble to seek out the same rare imported
toothpaste
from Denmark. True, one example proves nothing but you have to admit it's
weird.
