Post anything here that is weird or coincedental. Like someone you know who is called Jordan Freeman, or a sum in maths that came to 1337, or like the fact in Afrikaans (A language spoken here) the word SNAAK (Pronounced SNARK) means HUMOROUS. Anything weird that you can relate to.

I was browsing YouTube and I noticed something interesting. I did not edit this at
all. But I was lucky enough to have viewed it at that time and saw there were EXACTLY 1337 comments.

Look at the bottom of the picutre were it says "VIEW ALL 1337 COMMENTS"

and the irony was that while I was watching the movie I thought, "WOw, this is pretty leet!"

I clicked the VIEW ALL 1337 COMMENTS, but I wasnt presented with terribly 1337 comments.

A lady from work went to Destin, Florida for a vacation and the people sitting behind her at the beach were my brother's Dad and step-mom from St. Louis.

I don't believe in coincidence, this topic is supersticious witchcraft, and I'm gonna gather a posse of to try you for witchcraft and burn you at the stake.

i've never really been superstitious, but the thing about black cats crossing your path being a sign of good luck was pretty weird for me one day. i was going fishing with a mate, both of us on his gpz 650 (motorbike). just as we were about to turn off of the main road onto small windy road that ran up a steep wooded hill, i've noticed a black cat in the grass, looking like it's making a move to jump in front of us. Jim must have noticed it too, and slowed the bike a little. but the cat sat back down, so Jim opened it up again. that's when the cat decided it was going to move after all. a bit of rapid deceleration saved the cat, and probably held us up for 2 seconds.
anyway, the road that leads up the hill is one of those steep zig-zag shots, that only go for a hundred yards or so before looping back round. when we were part way up the hill, turning back onto a straight, a car full of idiots came hurtling around the bend at the other end of the straight like it was in some sort of kamikaze rally. it took most of the hundred yards for the car to get back in shape, and if it wasn't for the cat slowing us down just before this, i'm pretty sure that we'd have been right in its path.

strange indeed, though it didn't make me any more or any less superstitious. :smile:

Someone probably filled them with dog doo as a joke for whoever found it...

I thought that's how they made menthols :confused:
Feed the dogs nothing but mint, and then put their poo in the tobacco...

I met a girl once named Mercedes. I got her number, and called her a few days later. Somehow, I misdialed the number, but.... the girl who answered the phone at the wrong number was also named Mercedes! As you can imagine, I was thoroughly confused when I started talking to her.

Last night I was watching Silent Hill and the receiver that is hooked up to that TV got too hot, or something, and nothing but hissing, static, and odd "frequency" noises came out.

:eek:

You serious? Out of all the numbers you could have dialled wrong, and all the name it could have been. Wierd, 2 people with same name and very similar phone number.

I was in Bermuda until this afternoon, and while I was there I went on a Jetski tour around the island. Turns out the tour guide is a high school classmate of mine who I hadn't seen since graduation more than 3 years ago. It was a really random coincidence.
