Last night I was watching a clip of some New Zealand firefighters doing the Haka dance in memory of the firefighters of 9/11. I had never heard of it before and found it interesting and showed it to my kids. This morning I was reading a book and it referenced the New Zealand Haka dance!
I find such things very often. Ill be reading a book and the main character will have the same name as someone I just met. Or the same name as a minor character in the last book I read. Or the book will touch on some obscure subject or fact that I read in the last book even though the books are completely different and by different authors.
