What I Learned Tonight On The Internet
Because I won't always have my Saturday nights free:
Mary Bono is a Scientologist. So is Liz Phair.
Tonight's Colorado Rockies win is the only 1-0 game in the 11-year history of Coors Field.
Synchronicity is not just a Police album. From Wikipedia's entry thereof:
A well-known example of synchronicity involves plum pudding. It is the true story of the French writer Émile Deschamps who in 1805 is treated to some plum pudding by the stranger Monsieur de Fontgibu. Ten years later, he encounters plum pudding on the menu of a Paris restaurant, and wants to order some, but the waiter tells him the last dish has already been served to another customer, who turns out to be M. de Fontgibu. Many years later in 1832 Émile Deschamps is at a diner, and is once again offered plum pudding. He recalls the earlier incident and tells his friends that only M. de Fontgibu is missing to make the setting complete, and in the same instant the now senile M. de Fontgibu enters the room by mistake.
Once last year I tried putting in three songs at a jukebox in Louisville. The first song went through fine, but the machine wouldn't let me enter the second song, and it left me with no credits with which to even try the third song, much less a backup fourth. So I sat back down, and after the first song finished, the second song came on anyway, making it apparent that attempt had actually worked. Then the third song came on, which, since I didn't even try to enter it, marks it among the most extreme coincidences I've ever experienced. #1, of course, would be when the backup fourth song came on next. Would this anecdote be more compelling if I remembered any of the song titles? I'll assume it was all Hot Hot Heat.
