Lost Me, or, Coincidence
here is why i tend to cock an eyebrow at "coincidence":

"In Detroit sometime in the 1930s, a young (if incredibly careless) mother must have been eternally grateful to a man named Joseph Figlock. As Figlock was walking down the street, the mother's baby fell from a high window onto Figlock. The baby's fall was broken and both man and baby were unharmed. A stroke of luck on its own, but a year later, the very same baby fell from the very same window onto poor, unsuspecting Joseph Figlock as he was again passing beneath. And again, they both survived the event. (Mysteries of the Unexplained)"

what a loving mother. what a lucky baby, to have his fall cushioned by the good mr. figlock, only to be returned to such a loving mother. and "dropped" again a year later.

people are sick. and gullible.
