I always loved the old Ripley's Believe It Or Not stories. This is one of the strangest, proving that synchronicity is indeed alive and well in the world!
In 1893, Henry Ziegland, of Honey Grove, Texas, jilted his sweetheart, who then killed herself. Her brother tried to avenge her by shooting Ziegland, but the bullet only grazed his face, and buried itself in a tree. The brother, thinking he had actually killed Ziegland, committed suicide.
In 1913, Ziegland was cutting down the tree in question with the bullet in it. It was a tough job, so he used dynamite, and the explosion sent the old bullet through Ziegland's head - killing him!
Who says God doesn't have a strange sense of humor?
