Coincidences can certainly fascinate us.
Some of them may seem strange and
irrational, but psychologists say there is a
reasonable explanation for every
coincidence. They insist that even the
strangest coincidences can be explained
by the mathematics of probabilities. For
example, the destinies of Presidents
Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy
were linked by an amazing series of
coincidences.
