It's actually extremely likely. The chance that any two statuses are anagrams is miniscule, and even the chance that a particular status has an anagram among all other statuses is probably small, but the chances that there are no collisions at all is tiny. See a description of the Birthday Paradox[1] for the mathematics behind this. For example, if you put 70 people in a room, there is a 99.9% chance that two people share a Birthday.
