I am a rationalist and have no truck in telepathy, crystals, or other such related craziness. Coincidence and the law of large numbers explains everything.
...but once in a blue moon I hear a story like this and do have a niggling thought: maybe the universe is much deeper and weirder than we think. And/or the grad students who are running the simulation we all exist in like to play tricks on us from time to time. ;-)

- billforsternz 14y agoI don't disagree with you, but I would note that I don't really like bowling as such (I rolled a few games when I was working on the system, but never really got any good or enjoyed it that much). So no, I don't make a habit of going into bowling alleys.
- billforsternz 14y agoI am also a rationalist and similarly have no truck etc. But this was a rather weird experience, in the sense that I clearly remember some inkling that I should check out this bowling alley, for some unexplained reason. And no, I have no particular interest in bowling and would not normally go near a bowling alley.
