You forgot the two guys with the same first and last names, who looked very much alike, but one of them had a criminal record And this lead to law enforcement using fingerprints for identification

Hank Ketcham's son was named Dennis, and the character was originally more of a menace than he has since become Eventually, Dennis Ketcham's antics became too much for his father, and he was sent to military school The two of them were never close after that It may have been that once the real Dennis was gone, the imaginary Dennis became more like the son Hank Ketcham would have wanted

I find it coincidental that a lot of world leaders all at the same time decided to oppres the population of their own countries, it's almost as if they've got a secret(not so secret) club and all conspired together to control the worlds population
Comment from : Iggy Moondust

Today I found out…MI-5 will believe anything
Comment from : Nox NC

isnt it possible that danish people just came to associate leadership with the name Rasmussen, such that the election of the three Rasmussens actually was related

In Australia, Target is called "House of Target", pronounced "TAR-ZHAY", with the G given a french "zh" sound and a rising accent given to the "et" like the word "ballet" - Is French fashion, no?

Rasmussen is historically a common name in Denmark, as patronymic naming traditions have usually limited last names Think: Hansen, Jensen, etc

Comment from : Joshua Sweetvale

#1 is similar to an incident in World War II where a crossword puzzle in the London Daily Telegraph had several of the code words for the upcoming Normandy invasions as words in the puzzle MI5 investigated it, thinking that it might be some kind of spy coded message, but found it was completely coincidental
Comment from : Christines Creativity Cabinet

I think the more controversial statement in some of these is saying that the people (like the Kings and the Rasmussens) are completely unrelated First of all, everyone is related to everyone at least a little bit Second, several of the surnames were likely from similar/related lineages meaning they are more closely related than the average 2 people
Comment from : DrewishAF

Here's a "sorta coincidence" for you: around the same time in the 80's, zz top, queen/david bowie & billy joel all had songs with "pressure" in the title iGot Me Under Pressure, zz top Under Pressure, queen/david bowie Pressure, billy joel/ibralso: rush & olivia newton john both have songs called _"Zanadu" _

Anise and Licorice are a real shock I assumed since the first time I smelled anise that it was the main ingredient for licorice

Comment from : Jake Barrett

There's meant to be a long list of coincidences between Lincoln & JFK (although I'm not sure how accurate some of them are, and you can usually find coincidences if you look hard enough) For example though, both were born in log houses, both were first elected to Congress in '46 and became president in '60 John Wilkes Booth shot Lincoln in a theater and ran to a warehouse; Lee Harvey Oswald shot Kennedy from a warehouse and ran to a theater

#6 isn't a coincidence, it's a biblical reference: a caduceus is used to heal the Israelites' snakebites in Exodus
Comment from : 4of92000

Wouldn't the two medical symbols be connected by the story of the Israelites and the snakebites? Moses was told to make a snake and put it on pole and that anyone who was bit but looked upon the staff would live

I love how FactBoi has to explain the specifics of what is a coincidence We are truly the stupid smart species on this planet

I want to punch this dude in the face because his volume he speaks at changes constantlybrAND he crowds his words in the beginning of his sentences and draws them out toward the endbrAll of this makes him highly unpleasant to hearbrUnfortunately he covers interesting material oftenbut I can't stand it

Tbh Rasmussen is an extremely popular last name I literally have 2 unrelated neighbours with that name
Comment from : Sisse Holm

Another interesting fact about Australian retail stores:brHere in Australia, Burger King is called “Hungry Jacks” brAll because there was a small burger shop in Sydney called Burger King that existed here before they brought over the American Burger King brThe owner of the small burger shop took the American Burger King to court and won Resulting in them never being able to use the name “Burger King” here in Australia

Ready for a real coincidence? As I was watching this video, I was in the kitchen making homemade black liquorice syrup using liquorice root, star anise, anise, and fennel!
Comment from : Zephyr Productions

fun fact on the word for dog, in the Kiribati language they're called "kamea", coincidentally pronounced as "come here", same as the English would say to their dogs all the time when dogs were first introduced to the island ok, in this case it's not a coincidence, the people heard the English referring to the dogs as "come here" & needed a new word in their language for "dog", so kamea it became

Mine was I was born in Wales, UK, moved to Ireland aged 20 and my partner and I shared a house with a guy called Ian A few months later he met a girl called Clare who moved in too She had come from UK with her ex boyfriend, Dylan Later we moved on again and four years later moved back to UK and broke up I moved to Manchester and 7 years later met and married Terry Terry had a sister in Ireland so we went to visit I mentioned I had lived in a certain village and she said she used to go there to visit Ian and Clare! How did she know them? She was Dylan's mum! Terry was Dylan's uncle I had never met Dylan and he wasn't around on this trip Jump ahead about 6 years and we were living in Galicia, north west Spain Terry got a phone call from Dylan asking if we could meet up as he was in the very next town visiting with his girlfriend's relatives Of all the places in the world he could have gone! 😂

Simon, surely you know that gawd told Adam to name all the animals in Genesis and everybody knows that Adam spoke English That is why 'dog' is the proper name for dogs; Adam named them that
Comment from : KJ Aubrey

The 'aust' in Austria and the 'aust' in Australia both come refer to compass directions But each refers to a different direction, and for unrelated reasons In Austria, aust refers to East; Austria is an anglicization of Osterreich, which translates to Eastern realm Australia comes from the Latin australis, which refers to the south (it is the opposite of borealis)
Comment from : Daniel Bliss

Similar to the Agatha Christie story, Tom Clancy was under FBI observation due to his books getting disturbingly close to classified information on multiple occasions
Comment from : BewilderedOwl

Personally I don’t think anise and licorice taste anything alike I HATE anise type licorice, while the actual licorice, with its bitter root flavor, I can’t get enough of it!
Comment from : FourtyFiveFudd

Our K-Marts in Australia always had a slightly different logo to the American ones as well, which as a kid made me think there was a chance they weren't connected

Knew Dennis the Menace would be on herebrIt's just such an incredible coincidence
Comment from : damen whelan

It's actually Wesfarmers (without the "t") and as far as I know, most, if not all Targets became Kmart At the very least, Country Targets became K-Hubs brbrOn the topic of coincidences, though, I like the story of a ship called the Titan that hit an iceberg and sank, which was released several years before the Titanic set sail and sank
Comment from : Utetopia

Wesfarmers owns the Kmart brand in Australia, so there's that to add to the list of coincidences
Comment from : Jackvos

Anise and fennel are closely related to each other tbh (both in the genus Apiaceae), but not to "star anise" nor licorice
Comment from : 2LeftThumbs

Ronald Wilson Reagan has 666 letters in his name, and if you add up the letters, numbering from 100, it adds up to 1984 Coincidence??
Comment from : Scott Lahteine

Three conspiracy theorists walk into a bar, yoy can't tell me that's a coincidence!
Comment from : pwuk

The name of the American and Australian company's called ' target ' and using a bullseye is even more coincidental to me because me and my wife went on holiday to Corfu in 1984 and the package holiday we went with were called ' target ' and their logo was also a bullseye, they went bust the same year
Comment from : joe butlersnr

I know at least 3 completely unrelated guys named King It's a very common name in the US nota big deal
Comment from : Matt Peacock

Americans don't speak a real language Urb instead of herb, anees instead of anise English is 3 languages molded together, American is 4 languages at war with each other I know English is a bit ridiculous in language terms, but American English is ridiculous with downs syndrome
Comment from : xD_TheBurningSky10101

As to the Agatha Christie story, the same thing happened to the writers of the movie Wargames They were spot on in far too many technical details for the government's liking and were questioned for days For them it was just logical reasoning and practical sensibilities that got them intuitively to the same places as government think tanks, researchers, and developers

Kmart and Target in Australia are both owned by Wesfarmers which considers Target a part of "the Kmart Group" according to their websitebrAussie Kmart has even opened a bunch of stores quite successfully in the US under the name Anko
Comment from : Ryan Lorch

I work for the company Walgreens People often confuse it with Walmart or think we are somehow related and act as if we are related We have no relation Walgreens was founded by Charles Walgreens Walmart was founded by Sam Walton Nothing more than a coincidence both men had Wal in their names
Comment from : Christine Shiffermiller

That Target one is simply Australia stealing it from the US You mention that they were only found a year apart, but act like planes didn't exist or people didn't travel too far, fast It was the 1960's not 1860's
Comment from : Al M

Ok, I give up Your shows are informative and usually amusing, but you need to stop muttering Your volume drops, and you become incomprehensible to me I'll check back later, but I don't have high hopes; I see this in many of your videos, and until you can figure out how to modulate your volume, I'll regretfully have to bypass your videos Best of luck!

There is a bit of military wisdom that seems relevant to your initial observationbrOnce is happenstance Twice is coincidence Three times is enemy action That's what comes to my mind anyway! 🤓

Last year I was going through my shop gathering up the stuff to build a lichtenberg machine for fractal wood burning when my sister called and said she saw this cool thing on YouTube about fractal wood burning and I should gather up the stuff to make a machine and that's exactly what I was doing when she called me!
Comment from : tahlulabang

Not sure the medical symbol one counts as a coincidence if the popularity of one is based on the other
Comment from : Will Grandbois

It wasn't necessary for the word "dog" to exist at first because a dog is a tamed wolf and people took a long time to have wolves as tame companions Even today, the word "dog" can create loathing for someone who's used to mangy, rabid dogs scrounging on rubbish dumps in poor nations compared with the feelings that the same word evokes in a family where the dog is a family member who gets introduced to visitors "This is Auntie Janet, and Uncle Bill and this is Rover" And visitors actually say, "Hello, Rover"
Comment from : Tracesprite

Leonard Dawe, British headmaster, was investigated by MI5 over crosswords he had created for The Daily Telegraph - not merely once or twice but multiple times!brbrIt began in 1942 when the word "DIEPPE" appeared in his puzzle the day before the Dieppe raid in France, continuing as "UTAH", "JUNO", "OMAHA", "NEPTUNE", and "OVERLORD" (all code names for Normandy invasion groups/plans) appeared in puzzles just weeks prior to the D-Day landings
