Default How about this for an amazing coincidence.

The ringtone on my phone is "Start me up" by the Stones. The other day in my car i was listening to Tattoo You on which it is a track. My phone rang, and it was perfectly in sync with my car CD, so much so i never realised the phone was ringing.

Beat that.

If you didn't know the phone was ringing then how did you know it was perfectly in sync?

I did, of course, predict that Wayne Rooney would be sent off, as posted on here.



Ok i know the odds were short but still

I got talking to this girl at a bar on Sunday. I had never seen her before, let alone met her. We got chatting and she asked me what my ringtone is and I replied "light brown". She looked at me and said "same as mine".

Later that evening I could indeed confirm it was. What are the chances of that! I'd never met the girl before!

Ok, so you had a missed call when the song was on. How does that make it perfectly in tune?

I thought you were going to say that you noticed your phone was ringing and switched off the CD only to find that they were in fact in sinc, but instead you had a missed call that could have been at any time during the journey, it may have only rang for a second or two and you never noticed ??

As for amazing coincidence !!! EPIC FAIL

My phone was in the glovebox and has a very loud ringtone. I was listening to Start me Up on the car stereo. While it was on for about 30 seconds i thought it sounded a bit different, like it was quadrophonic. Straight after i got my phone out and realised i had a missed call. I checked the time, i had just missed it. My phone is set for the max number of rings, about 30 seconds.

Believe it or not, i dont care. Its just a once only coincidence.

The ringtone on my phone is set to silent. The other day in my car I wasn't listening to anything. My phone rang, and the silence was perfectly in sync with silence from my car radio that wasn't turned on, so much so I never realised the phone was ringing.

Beat that.

I was in bed the other night and my phone started ringing at about 4am - just as it did I woke up.

What an amazing coincidence!

The difference between the inner and outer sub scribed circles of the great pyramid - in metres is equal to the speed of light in millions of metres / second.
299.79613 m x 10000000/sec (Measured from pyramid)

When we were younger my brother and his friend used to take his friends older brothers car out at night .. they were about 14/15 at the time.

I was burning mp3's to CD using musicmatch for my g/f when they came in and I told them that it was dangerous and in my opinion they needed to stop .. (I was about 17) ..

When my g/f listened to the cd track 9 was just my speech to the lads about not using the car .. I have no idea to this day how it happened, MM didn't record voice and I know of no recording software that records to CD on the fly ..

Very, very odd .. I still have the CD ..

The other day as I sat down on the toilet and as I started to pinch one out whilst reading my latest edition of Autocar, I was thinking, we need to do the shopping as we're all out of bog roll. Low and behold as soon as look at what's left of the roll, one measly sheet! Oh how I laughed to myself thinking what a funny coincidence and preceded to use the pages of Autocar to clean my self up.
