Owe this is very smart, I think I will safe this picture for one of my mentalism or psychology lectures to illustrate the fact that seemingly “special” things happen to well over 90% of us.

Running into your long lost friend at the great wall of China, or thinking of a person you haven’t seen in a long time and within a week you run into them. Or a person who as the same phone number as you only the last digit is different.

Very small coincidences which happen to the majority of us yet when you analyze the odds it’s not that weird at all but our psyche makes it special.
Get out a shuffled deck of cards now name two values of cards ace-through-king (for example 2 and king), go through the deck and see if any of these cards are adjacent to each other. Be very amazed! Though the chances are a lot higher than you think.

Is this not a case though (as with a lot of things), that anything can be found if you have a theory and you look hard enough into something for that theory? Hmm, maybe I’m wrong…..
