&lt;p&gt;Do you trust &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coincidence"&gt;coincidences&lt;/a&gt;? Do you think they exist or do you belong to the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conspiracy_theory"&gt;conspiracy party&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Personally, I think that a coincidence is how we call an event we can hardly explain, because we miss the whole picture. In other words, if we don't know the causes, effects are coincidences. I'm &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V_for_Vendetta_%28film%29"&gt;not the only one&lt;/a&gt; to think that, as defined in the common sense (purely random events, weird enough to be noted), coincidences don't exist. &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Littlewood%27s_law"&gt;Others&lt;/a&gt; give &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_Truly_Large_Numbers"&gt;strong arguments&lt;/a&gt; supporting this opinion, explaining the law we sometimes miss.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
