Strange Coincidences

I don't think I've ever had anything as extreme as the above experiences. My most recent coincidence chain was related to something really asinine.

I was watching a Jamie Oliver cooking show where he was trying to create the perfect mushroom stroganoff, and in doing so discovered a fungus called "chicken of the wood", which looks perfectly disgusting, grows on trees and apparently tastes like lemony chicken. This I discovered by googling the term "chicken of the wood", which linked me to a site referencing the very episode of Jamie Oliver I had been watching. This website mentioned another site called "Steve, don't eat it", saying that they found it strange that the episode of Jamie Oliver should be shown within the same week they saw "Steve" eating the exact same fungus. Not only this, but also when I logged into youtube later on, one of the promoted videos was by the exact same Steve.

I've had far more surreal instances of coincidence but it would seem I blank them as they happen since I can't entirely remember any others. All of you seem to be mentioning deaths and I can't help but feel both saddened and humbled by it. My woody fungus is pathetic in comparison.

EDIT: One of the weirdest coincidences I've ever had relates to my ex. When we were going out (and it still happens) I would always check my phone for a message within 30 seconds of him sending a text. Even if I wasn't expecting a message. I still can't explain that one.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
