Million-to-One Chances Happen Hundreds of Times a Day

295 times in America alone. It something I always tell people who believe in the power of coincidence. I'm always told that that's an overly scientific way of looking at things.

A lot of people, I guess, prefer to accept a tiny, comforting lie rather than just accepting that, you know, shit happens all the time. Quite why believing in cruel fate is more comforting than believing in cold numbers, I don't know.
