Today I got this receipt. I guess Microsoft bought out our McDonald's or something.

Since I am always thinking about you guys, I wondered, "I wonder what kind of crazy coincidences have happened to those Fungi Forumers."

Tell me.

What's the coincidence? I don't see anything particularly outstanding about that.

For those of you who are more slow than others: The order and price share numbers with a certain next-gen Xbox console...

Coincidence #1: I have a picture of a receipt too!

Coincidence #2: The numbers 3, 7 and 8 appear in both the number order and the different prices featured on the receipt!

Insane Steve · « **Reply #7 on:** August 05, 2006, 03:55:02 PM »

I went to McDonald's today. My order number was #306. Which is an anagram of #360! Coincidence!

I do not, however, have a picture.

AbercrombieBaseball · « **Reply #8 on:** August 05, 2006, 09:27:29 PM »

While I didn't go to McDonald's today, my cousin did. It was around 3:06 PM when she went there (give or take some minutes, I just remember it was around 3:00).

This morning while at a hotel, there was a coi pond with lots of cool coi fish. But only one of them was completely gold! I remarked that it was like the fish in that book, and my brother said he knew what book I was talking about: Bless Me Ultima. This is a coincidence because my brother went to a different high school than me and also never really reads. So we both somehow caught a reference to the same book.

In the Oxford Dictionary that I received today, on page 504 the first word on the page is "manic" and the last word "mansion." Therefore at the top of the page it reads "manic ~ mansion".

As I was driving along the very edge of my campus the other day, I noticed some graffiti that almost made me fall out of my seat! I finally got two pics.

Pic 1

Which one of you did this?

Lizard Dude · « **Reply #18 on:** August 10, 2006, 12:56:55 AM »

I would like to know who it was, too.

We all know Microsoft has taken over McDonald's, but now they are advancing on Wendy's, and fast. My receipt from Wendy's had Order # 60 and the total was $10.36. Who's next? Burger King? White Castle?

Luigison · « **Reply #25 on:** August 12, 2006, 04:12:54 PM »

I don't know of any other coincidence related to it though.

I don't think we will ever know the truth.

Perhaps the guy who wrote the "Deeze" graffiti is a lurker on the Fungi Forums?

Sorry, I couldn't resist. :P

Lizard Dude · « **Reply #30 on:** August 23, 2006, 11:13:26 AM »

As of last week, the DEEZE was gone. I guess the real Deezer was thrown in jail and forced to clean up the mess.

Koopaslaya: creepy o_0

Some of you may have heard of the riddles from 'Alice in Wonderland'. They are difficult to figure out, and I found a riddle inside a riddle. I think it's just coincidence, so, imo, it belongs here. =P Check it out:

Part of one of the riddles has a requirement that the King must bring different types of people in different amounts. The numbers are seven, ten, five and nine.

The first number, seven, begins with an S, which is the 19th letter of the alphabet.

The second number, ten, begins with a T, which is the 20th letter of the alphabet.

The third number, five, begins with an F, which is the 6th letter of the alphabet.

The fourth number, nine, begins with an N, which is the 14th letter of the alphabet.

If you add the 'ths' together (19+20+6+14), it equals 59. Not a significant number, right?

Then, subtract the actual numbers from 59. So, the sum would be 59-7-10-5-9. This equals 28.

The author of this riddle is Louis Carroll (actually a psuedonym), which has 12 letters in it. Subtract 12 from 28, which leaves 16.

The answer of the riddle is also 16.

The night before last, I had a dream that involved Star Wars somehow. I think it had something to do with the SNES Star Wars games (this has given me the desire to play those video games, which I haven't in probably a decade).

The dream seemed to come from nowhere; I hadn't seen any of the movies in over a year, hadn't played any of the games in an even longer time, and I don't recall talking about it any time recently---so pretty much it hadn't been on my mind.

Well, that evening (last night), I turned on the TV and Star Wars: Ep II was on. Weirded me out.

I have some odd and kind of stupid coincidences.

I was riding the bus home from school, and, out of boredom, looked out the window. The bus was right next to a building, and on the side of the building was graffiti. It read "BPG." And I was like, "Wait a minute. BP=Bird Person, G=Gang." So, I guess the Bird Person Gang has vadalized my town/city/whatever works for you.

On another bus ride, we passed a pawn shop that has already prepared for the Halloween holidays. In the front of the store, there was a globe with some ghosts in it. However, a sign was underneath it, and it read, "No boos allowed!" So, I immediately thought, "Huh. I guess Boo_penguin and King_Boo are banned from my town/city/whatever."

One last coinkidink. I was on yet another boring bus ride home. We were stopped in front of a sign. Written on the sign was a bunch of gang insignia. One of the writings said, "R.I.P. Derzee." So, my brain thought, "So, Deezer or dezzer was killed here, or else Deezer had another twin who was killed in a gang-related fight." Well, these are the weird and odd coinkidinks I had. :/

Pt_Peach · « **Reply #38 on:** September 01, 2006, 07:07:43 PM »

XXD XD XD XD XD!!! Funny coincedences! Well everytime I see this bird on this sign, my mind instantly goes "O RLY Bird Person".

It was a Rockapella CD.

Here's a weird coincidence I found out:

Rugrats, which was one of my most favorite cartoons as a kid, first aired on August 11, 1991. Then exactly 13 years later (an unlucky number) my dog was put to sleep.

Pt_Peach · « **Reply #44 on:** September 14, 2006, 04:15:05 PM »

Coincedence.

I turned 13.

Then my sister had her baby, 2 days after

My friends mom had a baby, 2 days after my sister.

Then my friends little bro had a b-day, 2 days after that.

Mr. Melee · « **Reply #45 on:** September 15, 2006, 02:29:29 PM »

Repeating numbers...is that a sign of the Apocalypse? Or that Deezer has killed again...

More bus rides. More gang writing coincidences. This time I saw "ABS." It took me a few seconds, and I came up with the conclusion that it meant "AbercrombieBaseball Syndicate." Another one puzzled me, though. It was "HBZ." It didn't take long to come up with Hirocon, but there was the rest. After some hard thinking, I came up with "Hirocon Ballerz." You know, I'm starting to get the idea that the Fungi Forums is just a big meeting place for all of the gangs that are not known on a national basis.

I just remembered. There was a rather cute coincidence in my Animal Crossing: Wild World game last weekend...

One of my neighbors, Kiki the black cat, was wearing a pattern that I made that is designed to look like Luigi's shirt and overalls. She was into collecting clothes and she wanted a Li'l Bro's Shirt (which is green with Luigi's L emblem). If that wasn't enough, when you opened her Ranch Dresser, you get the message "What are Luigi's clothes doing in here?"

Okay. So I'm not sure if it was a coincidence or not, but I thought it was hilarious.

Scroll down to the bottom of the page.

How many quotations are in other collections? 42

Coincidence? Probably.

The site is kind of like Wiki in that anyone who is a member can contribute quotes. http://www.quotationspage.com/contribute.php

Unless all the members delete or add to their individual collections to keep the total number the same. This could be since Mr. Adams is no longer with us.
