Also the Birthday effect, as the coincidence was a match between two different events.

I know about the birthday effect and similar. (I do math and stats for a living.) The problem is that when I try to estimate the probability of having these events happen I get probabilities that are too small.

Well, I'm getting my karma eaten so I'll return to being quiet about these events. :-)
