I was once explaining the Baader-Meinhof Phenomoenon to someone and then went to a movie and there was a trailer for a movie about the Baader-Meinhof gang.

True story!

I'm taking statistics at the moment too, actually. I understand what you're saying. I was simply remarking on the pleasantness of seeing a correlation between my academic material and real-world applications.

I guess s/he will realize this not in Statistics class, but in Psychology class. Human brain is amazingly equipped to find patterns, even if there exists none.
