Is it just me, or the subheading is "Story on accidental order begets story on accidental order begets accidental order"?

  Yes, it's a joke.

    Why, what's "begets“? I don't get the joke :-/

      Think of it as a synonym for 'creates'. It's very archaic; the classic use is biblical. There's a passage - I think early on - that goes something like "Jacob begat Balthazar, Balthazar begat Abraham, ... etc." Goes on for 50 odd names and essentially means "fathered" in that context.

        Ah, got it (sorry, English isn't my first language).
