More STRANGE BUT TRUE Coincidences

KEY WITH POST
In Berkeley, California, 1974: Mrs. Willard Lovell was trying to get into her locked apartment after she had accidently locked herself out. At that moment a postman arrived with a letter from her brother who had stayed there a short time earlier. In the letter was her spare key, which he had borrowed and was returning.

STORY COMES TRUE
A story by Edgar Allan Poe told of a shipwrecked open boat, and of three survivors who killed and ate the fourth -- a fictional cabin boy named Richard Parker. Fifty years later, an actual shipwreck occurred in which three survivors in an open boat killed and ate the fourth, a cabin boy named (you guessed it) Richard Parker.

STOLEN CHECK
In 1977 Texas, two culprits tried to cash a forged and stolen check at a teller's window. But alas, the teller happened to be their intended victim. Just a few hours earlier, the checks had been stolen from her and her boyfriend's home and she immediately recognized them as her own. She notified the police and the thieves were quickly captured.

AGAINST THE ODDS
At his first lecture at a university, a new statistics professor, in order to demonstrate to his class the laws of probability, tossed a fair coin which landed on the floor...vertically on its side. The odds of this happening by chance have been calculated as a billion to one.

BUT YOU SAVE MY LIFE
El Paso highway patrolman Allen Farby had been chasing a truck when he crashed his motorcyle on a hot June night. While his battered leg lay sprawled on the pavement, nearly amputated, a businessman named Alfred Smith chanced upon meeting him. In the nick of time, Smith applied a crude tourniquet to the wound with his tie, an act which stopped the bleeding and saved Farby's life. Five years later, a recovered Farby was on patrol when he heard on his radio about a car smashed into a tree. He answered the call and arrived at the wreck before the ambulance. The victim's leg was smashed and was bleeding from a ruptured artery. Knowing about first aid, Farby applied a tourniquet and stopped the bleeding, then pulled the man to a more comfortable position on the ground. That's when he suddenly recognized the victim: Alfred Smith, the same man who had rescued Farby just five years before. Later, Farby was to declare: "It goes to prove that one good tourniquet deserves another."

YOU RECOMMENDED IT?
Somewhere in New York, a psychology professor found a rare book he had been searching for on a street corner. But later he discovered that the psychologist who had recommended it says she never even heard of it.

THAT'S ME BUT NOT ME
During a business stopover in Louisville, Kentucky, George D. Bryson registered at the Brown Hotel and was staying in room 307. As a lark, he stepped up to the desk and asked the mail clerk if there was any mail for him. The clerk handed him a letter addressed to the previous occupant of his room, another George D. Bryson.

LOST RING
A West German farmer's wife had lost her wedding ring forty years earlier in a potato field. She finally found it while dining in her kitchen, inside a potato grown in that field.

DEATH TAKES A HOLIDAY
Death Takes a Holiday: Obituary writer Mildred West chose the perfect time to take a week's vacation. During her absence not a single death occurred in her city of 32,000. Normally, an average of ten deaths occurred each week.

WRONG NUMBER
In 1967 England, a police constable named Moscardi told his friend that the number of his police station had changed, and was now 40166. Only later did he discover he had made an error, his new number actually being 40116. A short time later, while Moscardi was patrolling an industrial area, he noticed a light inside one of the buildings and entered to investigate. No fire was discovered, but inside the room a phone rang and the constable answered it. It was his friend, who had dialed the wrong number Moscardi had given him, and which belonged to the unmarked phone in the room Moscardi had never entered before.

NAME SAKE RUNS ME OVER
In Worcester, England, 1974: Motorcyclist Frederick Chance crashed into a car that was driven by another Frederick Chance.

LOST PEN
In 1953, Boone Aiken lost his engraved fountain pen in Florence, South Carolina. Three years later, while in New York City with his wife, Mrs. Aiken spied a pen on the street next to their hotel. The pen turned out to be Boone's lost original.

Madmart, n all,

AGAINST THE ODDS

I dropped a color crayon on the kitchen floor. I watched it fall straight down and saw it bounce up and then land on it's end. Just like it was locked stopping still on it's round end. It did spin as it fell to a dead stop.

We took it's picture standing on the floor!!

Thank you for the strange but true list I had never read before

MK

I thought it was a small coin

It's been since 1991!!

That is odd and weird, MK, the odds of that happening is prob a 10000 to 1
chance. If possible could you please scan into your pc the photo's of the coin, and post them on here please ;- they would be most interesting to see.

Madmart,

My son is here on college time off. He could do it if we could find the photo. Finding it would be the challenge. I'll asked the wife and him if they know where the pic may be.

That would be easily faked. Nah, too much TRUTH typed here and I won't change that idea.

MK

The Dragons Triangle in the Pacific Ocean is on tv now. Wow! The Bermuda Triangle is the only one I knew about. Live and learn...........

EDIT: Here are the pics of the crayon thanks to my son.

I hope it's not the mean box of 64 that just turned 50 years old last week. Lol

Keep trying you guys and don't forget to take a picture if one does it's end stand. A crayon has no hands so I called it an end stand.

I dare not try this again!

whitedove, Blackbird look at my list of my few posts and pick one to reply about. You too Madmart.
