Everybody walks past a thousand story ideas every day. The good writers are the ones who see five or six of them. Most people don't see any.

Comment preview: I was in Savannah, GA when I was 10. We were at some historic fort and saw that there was another van with Wisconsin plates like ours, so we decided to park next to it. As we were getting out of the car, the family with the other WI van began to get into ....


Comment preview: Many ISP's have legally-enforced monopolies. You may have noticed that there are very few ISP's available to you in your area (if you live in the US). This isn't a coincidence. It is a result of Comcast/TWC lobbying the hell out of city and state governmen ....


Comment preview: That's so fucking awesome, and a crazy coincidence for me... Last night my wife went to bed early and after struggling to find something interesting on Netflix, I watched Deep Impact. Had not seen it since I rented it on VHS in the late 90's. I had forg ....


Comment preview: My intense curiosity got the better of me. I stopped being a lurker and asked crosby to describe the girl. Turns out, it *is* my little sister. (Just called her to confirm) Whoops. Crazy coincidence! But now that we know...that's the end! I really do wish ....


Comment preview: While it might appear to be a crazy coincidence, if you consider it carefully, I think it can be explained. For example, if someone actually calculated the probability of this occuring in say a 50 year time span (by looking at the geographic distribution a ....


Comment preview: C'mon dude, you knew what you were doing. Don't act like this just 'happened' by some crazy coincidence. You asked your ex to grab drinks alone (why exactly?), got more drunk than you intended, and then drove back to her house? Don't play coy, you totally ....


Comment preview: I see a lot of complaints/mocking about the fact that everyone died in the shootout except the main characters. I can see it argued that stuff like that can take people out of the scene, but I've accept as a lifelong fan of noir/cop drama etc. that deus ex ....


Comment preview: When I was 9 or 10 I was staying over at my friends house for the first time. After spending the day there and getting green light from our parents to stay the night he suddenly gasped and said "oh! But I'm turning my head when going to sleep!" in a worrie ....


Comment preview: If you take a revolver with a 10 bullet chamber, place nine bullets inside said gun, and play Russian Roulette ten times with just yourself, the chances of you surviving is 100%. Confused? Let me explain: According to some theories, every time there is a d ....


Comment preview: It's exceedingly unlikely - but still possible - that the key you found was made for a lock that just *happened* to have been given the same combination of pins as the IS room. I doubt locksmiths have some central register of what pin combinations have bee ....


Comment preview: So my friend and I were delivering a liftchair to this guy's wife. We get there and he's standing out on the porch waiting and he's a real Albert Einstein looking mother fucker with white scraggly hair and bushy ass eyebrows. He really seemed like he wasn' ....


Comment preview: Interesting. But the crazy coincidences don't stop there. 1337%*pi is 42, and converted from radians to degrees it is 240 660. If we divide those numbers by 42 we get 5.71428571 and 15.7142857. Enter these as lat/longs on Google maps and we get a locati ....


Comment preview: I like this question. Perfection. If I were to describe my life in one word before the accident, that's what it would be be. I had graduated college from east Carolina university and headed towards Raleigh to settle down with the love of my life. Chris and ....


Comment preview: One time my brother and I headed to a lake to do some fishing, with our boat in Tow. Another truck was pulling a boat next to us on the highway -- nothing out of the ordinary -- but we drove for a good 60 miles almost right next to eachother. Then when i ....


Comment preview: >prevented from contacting either his lawyer or his parents, And yet his sister was at Juvenile Hall ready to snap that nice photograph of him in his NASA shirt and handcuffs. Same sister that was suspended for a bomb threat 3 years earlier. And his da ....


Comment preview: What? Has anyone of all those who are criticizing this movie actually seen it? Nothing in it gives the impression that it was torture that led to Bin Laden, more to the opposite. Are people upset that they depict the torture in the movie without giving som ....


Comment preview: I was also a little confused but I get it now, let's see if I can make it more clear: OP left his car at the bar, and had to walk back to get it. While he was walking he encountered the 2 men walking with backpacks. He finds out that they are walking acros ....


Comment preview: My grandfather and his brother were identical twins. When his brother passed away, he flew from Pennsylvania out to California for the first time in years for the funeral. After everything was said and done, they let my grandfather go through his closet an ....


Comment preview: Ok so it would seem Mr. Brown may have in fact committed a felony 10 minutes prior to being stopped by Police. Whether he committed the crime or not is unknown. But he does fit the description. Since he does indeed fit the description, clothes, height and ....


Comment preview: I can barely believe this is happening but I actually work near Birmingham. I live at Walsall so I drive 20 minutes or so to go to work. I'll give enough details here for you to recognize me (if it really was me), sorry for the wait everyone. You might not ....


Comment preview: I think I was a freshman in high school. A buddy of mine and I are at a local grocery store and for whatever reason, started swapping stories about a kind of weird gym teacher we both had at the middle school in grades 7-8. He would say stuff like "I'm gon ....


Comment preview: This has happened to me a bunch of times and is just some crazy coincidences, either that or I am a witch and should be burned. When I was a kid my mum and I used to watch a lot of f1 motor racing and I had a particular dislike of Michael Schumacher for so ....


Comment preview: Or worse they do something incorrectly because they're just mashing buttons and somehow they manage to dial Obama. So now you have to evade the secret service because you're the phone admin and they think it was you who breached their systems and probably ....


Comment preview: We would need to see the actual Japanese text for "Bloodtinge" and "Quicksilver" to be sure, but going with what we've got, and a little bit of research, I have a couple leads. For one, guns and the Chikage rely on Bloodtinge for scaling, and that means es ....


Comment preview: She was a very small nine year old and the most detail I've ever gotten was that she was so tiny she could fit through a hole in a fence, unnoticed. It sounds like several people were fleeing from the same area, sporadically. They all decided not to stick ....
