It's a small world

Couldnt decide whether this was a bike event or not but here will do.

An Owners manual for my bike turned up on trademe on monday so I clicked the buy now. Went and picked it up today and it turns out its actually the manual for MY bike.

This guy sold the bike to the guy I bought it off at the end of last year but couldnt find the owners manual so they were separated.

This week he decided to list it and now they are re-united. Had he listed it a week earlier I wouldnt have owned the bike and someone else would have probably bought it

I also got the receipt for the cam belt/ valve adjustment etc that was done just before he sold it too.

I read about some guy who was in the swiss (I think) army in the 60's. In the 90's when living in the usa he saw that some army surplus company had the same kind of hat as he had in the army. He brought one and found it was his issued one.

In 1975, while riding a moped in Bermuda, a man was accidentally struck and killed by a taxi. One year later, this man's bother was killed in the very same way. In fact, he was riding the very same moped. And to stretch the odds even further, he was struck by the very same taxi driven by the same driver - and even carrying the very same passenger!

Henry Ziegland thought he had dodged fate. In 1883, he broke off a relationship with his girlfriend who, out of distress, committed suicide. The girl's brother was so enraged that he hunted down Ziegland and shot him. The brother, believing he had killed Ziegland, then turned his gun on himself and took his own life. But Ziegland had not been killed. The bullet, in fact, had only grazed his face and then lodged in a tree. Ziegland surely thought himself a lucky man. Some years later, however, Ziegland decided to cut down the large tree, which still had the bullet in it. The task seemed so formidable that he decided to blow it up with a few sticks of dynamite. The explosion propelled the bullet into Ziegland's head, killing him.

Ah coincidence.
