Hitler and Napoleon were born 120 years apart, came to power 127 years apart (they did actually declare war on Russia 129 years apart) and were defeated 130 years apart.

Not impressed or chilled by this in the least.

Enough research would undoubtedly yield hundreds, if not thousands, of similar examples. The author obviously has too much time on his hands.

ETA:

No offense intended to the OP. I realize people lap this stuff up, but in much the same way as that made Robert Ripley a household name some years ago.

... and so what? Some were chilling to me, some entertaining, and some just brow-furrowing.

Emotion doesn't necessarily preclude logic in this instance.

But, I guess you can wear that fedora with much more satisfaction now.

that there are no doubt tons of coincidences like these to be found, should you have the time to look.

Ever find yourself behind a car whose licence plate had your initials on it? If so, did that mean anything to you?

I just find it interesting what other people find interesting.

That's not a fedora--apologies.
