Local news story tonight...

A couple gave birth yesterday, March 5th, to their third child. No biggie. They have two older kids, a boy and a girl.

The problem is, all three kids share the same birthday, March 5th. None of the births was 'planned' and none were endurced. All three natural births.

Oh yeah, the birthday of the anesthesiologist? March 5th.

Come on.

Something to remember in evolution debates, etc--homoplasy, e.g. And as has happened before, a seemingly impressive morphological intermediate found can eventually be shown to have a stratigraphic range that contradicts the evolutionary "appearance." Coincidences happen all the time. Without a causal theory to relate them causally, they're just that--coincidences.
