Nairaland General20 Most Amazing Coincidences!!!! by Nostalgia21(op):
mere coincidence... or the hand
of fate?
1 James Dean's car curse
In September 1955, James Dean was killed
in a horrific car accident whilst he was
driving his Porsche sports car. After the
crash the car was seen as very unlucky.
a) When the car was towed away from
accident scene and taken to a garage, the
engine slipped out and fell onto a
mechanic, shattering both of his legs.
b) Eventually the engine was bought by a
doctor, who put it into his racing car and
was killed shortly afterwards, during a
race. Another racing driver, in the same
race, was killed in his car, which had James
Dean's driveshaft fitted to it.
c) When James Dean's Porsche was later
repaired, the garage it was in was
destroyed by fire.
d) Later the car was displayed in
Sacramento, but it fell off it's mount and
broke a teenager's hip.
e) In Oregon, the trailer that the car was
mounted on slipped from it's towbar and
smashed through the front of a shop.
f) Finally, in 1959, the car mysteriously
broke into 11 pieces while it was sitting on
steel supports.

2 A falling baby, saved
twice by the same man
In Detroit sometime in the 1930s, a young
(if incredibly careless) mother must have
been eternally grateful to a man named
Joseph Figlock. As Figlock was walking
down the street, the mother's baby fell
from a high window onto Figlock. The
baby's fall was broken and both man and
baby were unharmed. A stroke of luck on
its own, but a year later, the very same
baby fell from the very same window onto
poor, unsuspecting Joseph Figlock as he was
again passing beneath. And again, they both
survived the event. (Source: Mysteries of
the Unexplained)

3 A bullet that reached its
destiny years later
Henry Ziegland thought he had dodged
fate. In 1883, he broke off a relationship
with his girlfriend who, out of distress,
committed suicide. The girl's brother was so
enraged that he hunted down Ziegland and
shot him. The brother, believing he had
killed Ziegland, then turned his gun on
himself and took his own life. But Ziegland
had not been killed. The bullet, in fact, had
only grazed his face and then lodged in a
tree. Ziegland surely thought himself a
lucky man. Some years later, however,
Ziegland decided to cut down the large tree,
which still had the bullet in it. The task
seemed so formidable that he decided to
blow it up with a few sticks of dynamite.
The explosion propelled the bullet into
Ziegland's head, killing him. (Source:

4 Twin Boys, twin lives
The stories of identical twins' nearly
identical lives are often astonishing, but
perhaps none more so than those of
identical twins born in Ohio. The twin boys
were separated at birth, being adopted by
different families. Unknown to each other,
both families named the boys James. And
here the coincidences just begin. Both
James grew up not even knowing of the
other, yet both sought law-enforcement
training, both had abilities in mechanical
drawing and carpentry, and each had
married women named Linda. They both
had sons whom one named James Alan and
the other named James Allan. The twin
brothers also divorced their wives and
married other women - both named Betty.
And they both owned dogs which they
named Toy. Forty years after their
childhood separation, the two men were
reunited to share their amazingly similar
lives. (Source: Reader's Digest, January
1980)

5 Just like Edgar Allan
Poe's book
In the 19th century, the famous horror
writer, Egdar Allan Poe, wrote a book called
'The narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym'. It
was about four survivors of a shipwreck
who were in an open boat for many days
before they decided to kill and eat the
cabin boy whose name was Richard Parker.
Some years later, in 1884, the yawl,
Mignonette, foundered, with only four
survivors, who were in an open boat for
many days. Eventully the three senior
members of the crew, killed and ate the
cabin boy. The name of the cabin boy was
Richard Parker.

6 Twin brothers, killed on
the same road, two hours
apart
On 2002, Seventy-year-old twin brothers
have died within hours of one another
after separate accidents on the same road
in northern Finland. The first of the twins
died when he was hit by a lorry while
riding his bike in Raahe, 600 kilometres
north of the capital, Helsinki. He died just
1.5km from the spot where his brother was
killed. "This is simply a historic
coincidence. Although the road is a busy
one, accidents don't occur every day,"
police officer Marja-Leena Huhtala told
Reuters. "It made my hair stand on end
when I heard the two were brothers, and
identical twins at that. It came to mind that
perhaps someone from upstairs had a say
in this," she said. (Source: BBC News )
NOTE: our reader Linus wrote us after
reading local newspaper Helsingin Sanomat:
"Your story about the Finnish twins is
missing some details: The first brother was
killed by a lorry while riding his bike and
crossing highway 8. He apparently didn't
notice the lorry in the snow blizzard. The
second brother was killed by a lorry only
two hours later while riding his bike and
crossing highway 8. The second brother
couldn't have been aware of the first
brother's death, as the police was still trying
to identify the victim."

7 Three suicide attempts,
all stopped by the same
Monk
Joseph Aigner was a fairlly well-known
portrait painter in 19th century Austria
who, apparently, was quite an unhappy
fellow: he several times attempted suicide.
His first attempt was at the young age of 18
when he tried to hang himself, but was
interrupted by the mysterious appearance
of a Capuchin monk. At age 22 he again
tried to hang himself, but was again saved
from the act by the very same monk. Eight
years later, his death was ordained by
others who sentenced him to the gallows
for his political activities. Once again, his
life was saved by the intervention of the
same monk. At age 68, Aiger finally
succeeded in suicide, a pistol doing the
trick. His funeral ceremony was conducted
by the same Capuchin monk - a man whose
name Aiger never even knew. (Source:

8 Poker winnings, to the
unsuspected son
In 1858, Robert Fallon was shot dead, an
act of vengeance by those with whom he
was playing poker. Fallon, they claimed,
had won the $600 pot through cheating.
With Fallon's seat empty and none of the
other players willing to take the now-
unlucky $600, they found a new player to
take Fallon's place and staked him with the
dead man's $600. By the time the police
had arrived to investigate the killing, the
new player had turned the $600 into $2,200
in winnings. The police demanded the
original $600 to pass on to Fallon's next of
kin - only to discover that the new player
turned out to be Fallon's son, who had not
seen his father in seven years! (Source:
Ripley's Giant Book of Believe It or Not!)

9 A novel that
unsuspectedly described
the spy next door
When Norman Mailer began his novel
Barbary Shore, there was no plan to have a
Russian spy as a character. As he worked
on it, he introduced a Russian spy in the
U.S. as a minor character. As the work
progressed, the spy became the dominant
character in the novel. After the novel was
completed, the U.S. Immigration Service
arrested a man who lived just one floor
above Mailer in the same apartment
building. He was Colonel Rudolf Abel,
alleged to be the top Russian spy working
in the U.S. at that time. (Source: Science
Digest)

10 Mark Twain and Halley's
Comet
Mark Twain was born on the day of the
appearance of Halley's Comet in 1835, and
died on the day of its next appearance in
1910. He himself predicted this in 1909,
when he said: "I came in with Halley's
Comet in 1835. It is coming again next year,
and I expect to go out with it."

11
Three strangers on a
Train, with
complementary last
names
In the 1920s, three Englishman were
traveling separately by train through Peru.
At the time of their introduction, they were
the only three men in the railroad car.
Their introductions were more surprising
than they could have imagined. One man's
last name was Bingham, and the second
man's last name was Powell. The third man
announced that his last name was Bingham-
Powell. None were related in any way.

12 Two brothers killed by
the same taxi driver, one
year apart
In 1975, while riding a moped in Bermuda,
a man was accidentally struck and killed by
a taxi. One year later, this man's bother
was killed in the very same way. In fact, he
was riding the very same moped. And to
stretch the odds even further, he was
struck by the very same taxi driven by the
same driver - and even carrying the very
same passenger! (Source: Phenomena: A
Book of Wonders, John Michell and Robert
J. M. Rickard)

13 Swapped Hotel Findings
In 1953, television reporter Irv Kupcinet
was in London to cover the coronation of
Ellizabeth II. In one of the drawers in his
room at the Savoy he found found some
items that, by their identification, belonged
to a man named Harry Hannin.
Coincidentally, Harry Hannin - a basketball
star with the famed Harlem Globetrotters -
was a good friend of Kupcinet's. But the
story has yet another twist. Just two days
later, and before he could tell Hannin of his
lucky discovery, Kupcinet received a letter
from Hannin. In the letter, Hannin told
Kucinet that while staying at the Hotel
Meurice in Paris, he found in a drawer a
tie - with Kupcinet's name on it! (Source:
Mysteries of the Unexplained)

14 Two Mr. Brysons, same
hotel room
While on a business trip sometime in the
late 1950s, Mr. George D. Bryson stopped
and registered at the Brown Hotel in
Louisville, Kentucky. After signing the
register and being given his key to room
307, he stopped by the mail desk to see if
any letters had arrived for him. Indeed
there was a letter, the mail girl told him,
and handed him an envelope addressed to
Mr. George D. Bryson, room 307. This
wouldn't be so odd, except the letter was
not for him, but for room 307's just-
previous occupant - another man named
George D. Bryson. (Source: Incredible
Coincidence, Alan Vaughan)

15 Twins brothers, same
heart attack
John and Arthur Mowforth were twins who
lived about 80 miles apart in Great Britain.
On the evening of May 22, 1975, both fell
severely ill from chest pains. The families
of both men were completely unaware of
the other's illness. Both men were rushed
to separate hospitals at approximately the
same time. And both died of heart attacks
shortly after arrival. (Source:

A novel that predicted
the Titanic's destiny, and
another ship that almost
followed
Morgan Robertson, in 1898, wrote "Futility".
It described the maiden voyage of a
transatlantic luxury liner named the Titan.
Although it was touted as being unsinkable,
it strikes an iceberg and sinks with much
loss of life. In 1912 the Titanic, a
transatlantic luxury liner widely touted as
unsinkable strikes an iceberg and sinks
with great loss of life on her maiden
voyage. In the Book, the Month of the
Wreck was April, same as in the real event.
There were 3,000 passengers on the book;
in reality, 2,207. In the Book, there were 24
Lifeboats; in reality, 20.
Months after the Titanic sank, a tramp
steamer was traveling through the foggy
Atlantic with only a young boy on watch. It
came into his head that it had been
thereabouts that the Titanic had sunk, and
he was suddenly terrified by the thought of
the name of his ship - the Titanian. Panic-
stricken, he sounded the warning. The ship
stopped, just in time: a huge iceberg loomed
out of the fog directly in their path. The
Titanian was saved.

17 A writer, found the book
of her childhood
While American novelist Anne Parrish was
browsing bookstores in Paris in the 1920s,
she came upon a book that was one of her
childhood favorites - Jack Frost and Other
Stories. She picked up the old book and
showed it to her husband, telling him of
the book she fondly remembered as a
child. Her husband took the book, opened
it, and on the flyleaf found the inscription:
"Anne Parrish, 209 N. Weber Street,
Colorado Springs." It was Anne's very own
book. (Source: While Rome Burns,
Alexander Wollcott)

18 A writer's plum pudding
In 1805, French writer Émile Deschamps
was treated to some plum pudding by the
stranger Monsieur de Fortgibu. Ten years
later, he encountered plum pudding on the
menu of a Paris restaurant, and wanted to
order some, but the waiter told him the
last dish had already been served to
another customer, who turned out to be de
Fortgibu. Many years later in 1832 Émile
Deschamps was at a diner, and was once
again offered plum pudding. He recalled
the earlier incident and told his friends
that only de Fortgibu was missing to make
the setting complete — and in the same
instant the now senile de Fortgibu entered
the room.

19 King Umberto I' double
In Monza, Italy, King Umberto I, went to a
small restaurant for dinner, accompanied
by his aide-de-camp, General Emilio Ponzia-
Vaglia. When the owner took King
Umberto's order, the King noticed that he
and the restaurant owner were virtual
doubles, in face and in build. Both men
began discussing the striking resemblances
between each other and found many more
similarities.
a) Both men were born on the same day, of
the same year, (March 14th, 1844).
b) Both men had been born in the same
town.
c) Both men married a woman with same
name, Margherita.
d) The restauranteur opened his restaurant
on the same day that King Umberto was
crowned King of Italy.
e) On the 29th July 1900, King Umberto
was informed that the restauranteur had
died that day in a mysterious shooting
accident, and as he expressed his regret, he
was then assassinated by an anarchist in
the crowd.

20 The 21st, a bad day for
King Louis XVI
When King Louis XVI of France was a child,
he was warned by an astrologer to always
be on his guard on the 21st day of each
month. Louis ws so terrified by this that he
never did business on this day.
Unfortunately Louis was not always on his
guard. On June 21st 1791, following the
French revolution, Louis and his queen
were arrested in Varennes, whist trying to
escape France. On September 21st 1791,
France abolished the institution of Royalty
and proclaimed itself a republic. Finally on
January 21st 1793, King Louis XVI was
executed by guillotine.

PetsWorld Most Vernomous Snakes by Nostalgia21(op): 12:27pm On Sep 27, 2014
10 Rattlesnake
The only snake from the Americas on the list, the
Rattlesnake is easily identifiable by the tell tale rattle on
the end of its tail. They are actually a part of the Pit Viper
family, and are capable of striking at up to 2/3rd their
body length. The Eastern Diamondback in considered the
most venomous species in North America. Surprisingly,
juveniles are considered more dangerous than adults,
due to their inability to control the amount of venom
injected. Most species of rattlesnakes have hemotoxic
venom, destroying tissue, degenerating organs and
causing coagulopathy (disrupted blood clotting). Some
degree of permanent scarring is very likely in the event of
a venomous bite, even with prompt, effective treatment,
and can lead to the loss of a limb or death. Difficulty
breathing, paralysis, drooling and massive hemorrhaging
are also common symptoms. Thus, a rattlesnake bite is
always a potentially fatal injury. Untreated rattlesnake
bites, especially from larger species, are very often fatal.
However, antivenin, when applied in time, reduces the
death rate to less than 4%

9 Death Adder
The appropriately named Death Adder is found in
Australia and New Guinea. They actually hunt and kill
other snakes, including some on this list, usually via
ambush. Death Adders look quite similar to vipers, in that
they have triangular shaped heads and short, squat
bodies. They typically inject around 40-100mg of venom
with an LD of 0.4mg-0.5mg/kg. An untreated Death
Adder bite is one of the most dangerous in the world. The
venom is a neurotoxin. A bite causes paralysis and can
cause death within 6 hours, due to respiratory failure.
Symptoms generally peak within 24-48 hours. Antivenin
is very successful in treating a bite from a Death Adder,
particularly due to the relatively slow progression of
symptoms, but before its development, a Death Adder bite
had a fatality rate of 50%. With the quickest strike in the
world, a Death Adder can go from strike position to
striking and back again within 0.13 of a second.

8 Vipers
Vipers are found throughout most of the world, but
arguably the most venomous is the Saw Scaled Viper and
the Chain Viper, found primarily in the Middle East and
Central Asia, particularly India, China and South East
Asia. Vipers are quick tempered and generally nocturnal,
often active after rains. They are also very fast. Most of
these species have venom that cause symptoms that
begin with pain at the site of the bite, immediately
followed by swelling of the affected extremity. Bleeding is
a common symptom, especially from the gums. There is
a drop in blood pressure and the heart rate falls.
Blistering occurs at the site of the bite, developing along
the affected limb in severe cases. Necrosis is usually
superficial and limited to the muscles near the bite, but
may be severe in extreme cases. Vomiting and facial
swelling occurs in about one-third of all cases. Severe
pain may last for 2-4 weeks. Often, local swelling peaks
within 48-72 hours, involving the affected limb.
Discoloration may occur throughout the swollen area as
red blood cells and plasma leak into muscle tissue.
Death from septicaemia, respiratory or cardiac failure
may occur 1 to 14 days post-bite, or even later.

7 Philippine Cobra
Most species of Cobra would not make this list; however
the Philippine Cobra is the exception. Drop for drop, its
venom is the most deadly of all the Cobra species, and
they are capable of spitting it up to 3 metres. The venom
is a neurotoxin which affects cardiac and respiratory
function, and can cause neurotoxicity, respiratory
paralysis and death in thirty minutes. The bite causes
only minimal tissue damage. The neurotoxins interrupt
the transmission of nerve signals by binding to the neuro-
muscular junctions near the muscles. The symptoms
might include headache, nausea, vomiting, abdominal
pain, diarrhea, dizziness, collapse and convulsions.

6 Tiger Snake
Found in Australia, the Tiger snake has a very potent
neurotoxic venom. Death from a bite can occur within 30
minutes, but usually takes 6-24 hours. Prior to the
development of antivenin, the fatality rate from Tiger
snakes was 60-70%. Symptoms can include localized
pain in the foot and neck region, tingling, numbness and
sweating, followed by a fairly rapid onset of breathing
difficulties and paralysis. The Tiger snake will generally
flee if encountered, but can become aggressive when
cornered. It strikes with unerring accuracy.

5 Black Mamba
The feared Black Mamba is found throughout many parts
of the African continent. They are known to be highly
aggressive, and strike with deadly precision. They are
also the fastest land snake in the world, capable of
reaching speeds of up to 20km/h. These fearsome
snakes can strike up to 12 times in a row. A single bite is
capable of killing anywhere from 10-25 adults. The
venom is a fast acting neurotoxin. Its bite delivers about
100–120 mg of venom, on average; however, it can
deliver up to 400 mg. If the venom reaches a vein, 0.25
mg/kg is sufficient to kill a human in 50% of cases. The
initial symptom of the bite is local pain in the bite area,
although not as severe as snakes with hemotoxins. The
victim then experiences a tingling sensation in the mouth
and extremities, double vision, tunnel vision, severe
confusion, fever, excessive salivation (including foaming
of the mouth and nose) and pronounced ataxia (lack of
muscle control). If the victim does not receive medical
attention, symptoms rapidly progress to severe
abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, pallor, shock,
nephrotoxicity, cardio toxicity and paralysis. Eventually,
the victim experiences convulsions, respiratory arrest,
coma and then death. Without antivenin, the mortality
rate is nearly 100%, among the highest of all venomous
snakes. Depending on the nature of the bite, death can
result at any time between 15 minutes and 3 hours.

4 Taipan
Another entry from Australia, the venom in a Taipan is
strong enough to kill up to 12,000 guinea pigs. The
venom clots the victim’s blood, blocking arteries or veins.
It is also highly neurotoxic. Before the advent of an
antivenin, there are no known survivors of a Taipan bite,
and death typically occurs within an hour. Even with
successful administration of antivenin, most victims will
have an extensive stay in intensive care. It has been
likened to the African Black Mamba in morphology,
ecology and behavior.

3 Blue Krait
The Malayan or Blue Krait is, by far, the most deadly of
this species. Found throughout South East Asia and
Indonesia, 50% of bites from the deadly Blue Krait are
fatal, even with the administration of antivenin. Kraits
hunt and kill other snakes, even cannibalizing other
Kraits. They are a nocturnal breed, and are more
aggressive under the cover of darkness. However, overall
they are quite timid and will often attempt to hide rather
than fight. The venom is a neurotoxin, 16 times more
potent than that of a Cobra. It quickly induces muscle
paralysis by preventing the ability of nerve endings to
properly release the chemical that sends the message to
the next nerve. This is followed by a period of massive
over excitation (cramps, tremors, spasms), which finally
tails off to paralysis. Fortunately, bites from Kraits are
rare due to their nocturnal nature. Before the
development of antivenin, the fatality rate was a
whopping 85%. Even if antivenin is administered in time,
you are far from assured survival. Death usually occurs
within 6-12 hours of a Krait bite. Even if patients make it
to a hospital, permanent coma and even brain death from
hypoxia may occur, given potentially long transport times
to get medical care.

2 Eastern Brown Snake
Don’t let the innocuous name of this snake fool you,
1/14,000 of an ounce of its venom is enough to kill an
adult human. Coming in a variety of species, the Eastern
Brown snake is the most venomous. Unfortunately, its
preferred habitat is also along the major population
centers of Australia. The Brown snake is fast moving, can
be aggressive under certain circumstances and has been
known to chase aggressors and repeatedly strike at them.
Even juveniles can kill a human. The venom contains
both neurotoxins and blood coagulants. Fortunately for
humans, less than half of bites contain venom and they
prefer not to bite if at all possible. They react only to
movement, so stand very still if you ever encounter one in
the wild. [ Image Source ]

1 Fierce Snake or Inland Taipan
While I did say that I would not include multiple sub-
species in this list, the incredible Inland Taipan deserves
a spot of its own. It has the most toxic venom of any land
snake in the world. The maximum yield recorded for one
bite is 110mg, enough to kill about 100 humans, or
250,000 mice! With an LD/50 of 0.03mg/kg, it is 10 times
as venomous as the Mojave Rattlesnake, and 50 times
more than the common Cobra. Fortunately, the Inland
Taipan is not particularly aggressive and is rarely
encountered by humans in the wild. No fatalities have
ever been recorded, though it could potentially kill an
adult human within 45 minutes.

Science/TechnologyBeam Me Up: Scientists Say Human Teleportation Is 'possible' by Nostalgia21(op): 12:08pm On Sep 27, 2014
Star Trek-style 'beaming up' of people through space could
become a reality sometime in the far future, the leader of a
landmark teleportation experiment has said.
Nothing in the laws of physics fundamentally forbids the
teleportation of large objects, including humans,
researchers claim.
They were able to transport an atom three metres with
100% accuracy.

HOW THEY DID IT
In Prof Hansons' experiment, three entangled particles - a
nitrogen atom locked in a diamond crystal and two
electrons - were used to transfer spin information a
distance of three metres.
Four possible states were transmitted, each corresponding
to a 'qubit', the quantum equivalent of a digital 'bit'.
Each 'bit' of information in a classical computer represents
one of two values, normally zero or one.
But a 'qubit' can represent a zero, a one, or a
'superposition' of both states at the same time.
'What we are teleporting is the state of a particle,' Prof
Hanson, from Delft University of Technology in the
Netherlands, said.
'If you believe we are nothing more than a collection of
atoms strung together in a particular way, then in principle
it should be possible to teleport ourselves from one place
to another.

kennyman20: he fit no be scam bro.. Yes.. With the way people are downgrading the iphone 6 now because of the bad bendable features of the phone.. Some owners might get pissed off and be selling for whatever price that suit them.. its left for lagtech to do his job to ensure its not the clone one cos the clone is also out... My 2cents..
I pray the ad is real oo. the seller said it's no clone. if I buy am eh. na to resell am sharply for NL here 150k. grin . and the 150k na cheap price oo
