This has been a big news day! There were two plane crashes (Tunisia and China), and they identified and caught the guy who has been putting bombs in mailboxes. Alan Greenspan refused to raise interest rates, Rev. Shanley was held on $750,000 bond, Seattle Slew, the sirer of 900 horses (!!), died, and another suicide attack took place in the Middle East and a bus blast in Pakistan. Every time I looked at the news, there was a new story taking front place. I do think that something like this is probably a coincidence because I don't see any connection in these stories. Further, I see no connection to the planetary lineup; the planets go through their courses ignorant of human events. Probability and distribution theory can help explain the occurence of coincidences. Basically, coincidences means that events are happening randomly.
