How often does this happen to you?
You're reading, and someone says the word your eye is on.

Weeeeird. :hide:

I am reading a book, and just when my eyes landed on the word "immigrant", I heard Letterman say it.

1. That's happened a few times to me....
the word "Concrete" once, when I was reading in a car and the person driving said, "am I about to hit the concrete?" and the book said, "the pieces lay broken on the concrete".

2. This is because the universe exists wholly for your benefit.
It is a secret that God, and all of the rest of the universe, including me, David Letterman and Vladmir Putin, is in on.

3. haha
It happens to be with shocking regularity. This is either a case of Freudian absurdity to be embraced - or proof that my vocabulary/reading habits/television diet is quite impoverished.

4. Ah, synchronicity. 'S fun, isn't it?
Or, perhaps for you, it's just creepy.

5. It's worse when your earworm comes on the radio.
Now that's not just weird, that's down right strange.

6. If humans can do that...
...why can't we think and make Ken Blackwell's gall bladder explode?
