List some coincidences (in history, mythology, popular culture, whatever) that have happened to ordinary people, famous people, even yourself.

I'm trying to come up with a list of coincidences or synchronicities like this one:
On December 5, 1664, a ship in the Menai Strait sank with 81 passengers on board. There was one survivor—a man named Hugh Williams. On the same date in 1785, a ship sank with 60 passengers aboard. There was one survivor—a man named Hugh Williams. On the very same date in 1860, a ship sank with 25 passengers on board. There was one survivor—a man named Hugh Williams.

This post was deleted for the following reason: This is waaaay too broad and surveyish, especially with the "even yourself" angle. Chatfilter. -- cortex

 
If you google "lincoln ford coincidence" you get a list of crackpot websites that list facts about those presidents, in the same vein.

At the exact same moment as dozens of other people, I flagged a chatfilter question.
