coincidences - however unlikely - do happen.

There is also a phenomina sometimes known as the law of large numbers.

If you look at a large enough set of factoids, then some of them will appear to be coincident. The trick is to ignore all the factoids that don't seem to correlate.

This is the main trick behind numerology and cabala.
