Weird coincidences...
 

Last Saturday, we (my wife, her to brothers and I) went to visit their cousins north of Scranton, PA. Haven't seen them in over 3 years! :eek:

So Jacklyn is into art and digital photography. She shows us some of her pics at an online art forum: deviantart. Never heard of this website before. Now, the following Tuesday, in the "More random pics" OT thread, a link to a 911 / BMW 3 Series photochop comes up.

Weird. But there's more...

During dinner, Ron, the father, and Mike, the son are sharing some possible upgrades to their Ford F350 Diesel. One of the upgrades discussed are Jake brakes. I had never heard of these things, although I now know what the "brrr..brr..brrr..." sound is when the semi trucks are slowing down.

On Monday, over on Rennlist, I start a thread on driving misconceptions. We start discussing braking and specifically, engine braking. Wouldn't you know it, "Jake brake" systems are also discussed.

Now can it be that these are somehow linked? Is there Someone up there messing around with my mind? Am I paranoid?

I really think I should buy a Semi truck with Jake Brakes and find a 911/3-Series chop and run it over. Preferrably in Scranton.

Yeah, this is what too much snow will do to you!

Thanks for letting me share! :p

Z-man, I think you are getting to much sleep!

I think you are *this close* to breaking the Da Vinci code!!! The power the Grail will bring you will make the F350 seem like a puke-orange 924!

These are very interesting coincidences, Z-man. Let me take this opportunity to suggest a theory about the true nature of the internet. What happened here is that a connection occured between facts of your real life and thoughts that you have shared on internet. This suggest that internet is more than just a network of interconnected computers: the informations it carries gives it a higher dimension, just like a brain is more than interconnected neurones, but is where the soul manifests itself.
And just like the soul is our connection to higher dimensions, internet may play a similar role: internet is the recipient of all thoughts, and it may have reached a critical mass such that these thoughts are now able to permeate through our 3-D world. This is the 3-D to 4-D interconnection , there is no more difference, and...Arrrhhggh....the black helicopter...they are coming...! :eek:

Personally, I think the phone company killed JFK.

Did he forget to pay his phone bill ?

Nah, he tied up too many lines concerning that little Cuba "incident."
