Serendipity

[From 6/26/07--Ed]

So last night, I stayed up later that I should reading the exciting climax to the first full-fledged Science Fiction book I've read in a long time. [A review of which can be found on Eliel's Book Blog here--Ed]

And lo and behold, I go to do a search on Google, and my quotation block has this gem from George Carlin on it

If it's true that our species is alone in the universe, then I'd have to say that the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little.

How random is that? Sometimes I wonder whether I am the recipient of a special extra lifetime supply of synchronicity, or whether in my desire to know more about the world around me, I expose myself to enough stuff from different area that the coincidental repetition of themes seems like Something Else™
