Amazing Coincidences
So I just stumbled upon a wicked site that compiles lists of interesting stuff (rather than the usual stupid/funny stuff). Of the many awesome pages, the ones that are most blowing my mind are the three on real-life historical coincidences:
These are quite spooky, and I’m definitely getting some ‘wow, our world is fucked up’ type thoughts right now, especially concerning life ‘rhyming’ itself…
If you’re wondering what that means, here’s a good example (one that still has me in shivers):
In 1898 Morgan Robertson released ‘Futility, or the Wreck of the Titan’. A floating palace sailed from Southampton, England in April, 1898 on a voyage across the Atlantic. She was the biggest and most luxurious liner ever built. The liner was meant to be unsinkable. She was destined for America. But the ship never reached her destination, her hull was ripped open by an iceberg and she sank causing a heavy loss of life as there wasn’t enough lifeboats for the passengers (24 lifeboats for 3000 passengers). The ship was called Titan.
In 1912, a large luxury liner that was built to be unsinkable sailed from Southampton, England to America. She was on her maiden voyage across the Atlantic. The ship struck an iceberg which ripped apart the hull, and the ship sank. There were only 24 lifeboats for the entire ship (about 2200 people), and many people died. This ship was called the Titanic.
I checked some sources— they have me wondering, to say the least…

Also, here’s 2 more articles from that site that I found rather interesting, too:
