Subject: Here's an example or two...
In reply to: The Chief (altho jails and maternity wards regularly schedule extra staff on nights of a full moon... LOL) 's message, "True, CC. Just because there is statistical *correlation* does not mean there is actual *causation*." on 21:02:59 05/17/11 Tue

For the longest time, whenever my mom & I were on the phone, her other line would click-in and it would be my brother. ALL. THE. TIME. It got to the point where the call-waiting would click and I would sigh and say, "Tell Bruce I said 'Hi'." Now, there was no way for my brother to know when I talked to my mom. We're not genetically related or were ever that close "in spirit" so it's not like it could be accredited to some "kinship" thing. It was just a regular coincidence.

Also, when I was in HS & college, whenever I would talk to my BFF on the phone, she would end up having to go to the bathroom. That got to the point where I would call her and say, "go to the bathroom, then call me back." LOL

I dunno... maybe it's something about me and phones! LOL

[> [> [> [> My grandmother and I used to always call my mom at the same time. But I think that was mainly due to the frequency of Granny's calls. Statistically, it would be unlikely that I could call Mom and NOT have Granny calling at the same time because she called all the time! LOL -- JJ (Ronda), 03:45:40 05/18/11 Wed [1]

[> [> [> [> [> Haha, me and my sister ALWAYS call our mother at the same time....and we used to meet up in the bathroom (or in front of it) in the middle of the night, too. Do not discout the full moon, I tell you from several night shifts at the hospital during full moons, the house goes crazy. Every time. Btw, over here, the decline in births correllates almost exactly with the decline in storks.... -- Jam, 08:22:13 05/18/11 Wed [1]
