Wednesday at lunch my best friend and I discovered a coincidence that seemed to indicate subconscious telepathic communication. The previous night we had each gone to the Radio Shack at the Anderson Mall and bought a computer-clock battery.
The coincidence was mind-boggling for several reasons.
1. Neither of us had said anything to each other about the mall, Radio Shack, or wanting a new computer battery.
2. Computer clock batteries were available at several computer-oriented stores, department stores, and even at a more convenient Radio Shack we both drove past every day going to and from work.
3. Computer batteries do not need to be replaced often. My first computer battery lasted three and a half years.
What are the odds of each of us going to the same store on the same night to buy something only needed once every few years, without mentioning it to each other beforehand?
