This cosmic story began not long after President Kennedy was assassinated. I first heard about the "remarkable" coincidences probably in Jr. High School. So, some of this story is old. Recently a document has been circulating on the internet outlining even more "remarkable" coincidences. A copy was forwarded to me by a colleague who had little to do one recent (05/01/00) morning. Being a skeptic, I decided that it might be fun to examine these coincidences using only information available on the World Wide Web, plus what I could remember from my high school U.S. History class. Here is what I determined.
