Article Are coincidences real?

Salmon Rushdie was interviewed by Anderson Cooper last night and said he had a very similar (similar to what transpired)dream a few days before his attack which almost put him off attending the event where he was knifed almost to death. (I think he said he discussed it with his wife but decided it was "just a dream")

Hope your radiation therapy goes well for you zinj.

I find Rushdie’s surname quite coincidental for a guy who suffered an assassination attempt.

Thanks geo. I had my radiation during Valentines week in February. Got through it ok. Speaking of coincidences, not sure if this is one. I haven’t talked to you in a long time and today you mentioned my rad treatment, the same day I received my 2nd hormone injection. Weird. Coincidence?

While I’m at it, the same day I finished radiation therapy I asked if I could ring the bell, a custom for patients who finished their sessions. Tech told me that the bell wasn’t working properly because someone had somehow managed to damage it to the point where it didn’t sound much like a bell. I asked if I could try anyway and they said go ahead. I gave the cord a whiplike pull and the bell sounded loud and crisp like normal. So sharp that other techs and nurses came over to have a look themselves. Somehow my pull had fixed the problem. Coincidence?

Coincidences seem to have followed me around my whole life.
