so I was on MineThings and looking at various items and I realized I had actually been on the ferry they show in 'ferry' picture.

How's this for the smallness of the world:

When I was in college, I spent a summer backpacking Europe. While I was in Rome, I did a pub crawl. In the pub crawl group was a man with my same name, from my own university (in Georgia, USA). And he was the only other person at the university with my name.

-Money says that I went on that same pub crawl. Did you get a decent t-shirt and pre-game with the Australian guides outside of the Colosseum?

How about, today I discovered that the woman whos living one floor down of my sister, is sibling of the woman who lives on the floor over me. Cosmic coincidence :O

Yeah, well.. I just discovered that my father's brother is my grandfather's son!

I doubt it. I went on one in 2002 that gave away Simpsons t-shirts reading "Nuclear Wasted." But if, per chance, you happened to be in the exact same group, I was the guy who got really drunk and made out with a somewhat aggressive 6-foot Swiss woman whose name I couldn't pronounce.

ok that is too weird and the world is really small as in 2002 i was in rome on a pub crawl, really drunk & pretending to be a 6 foot tall swiss woman.

Oh, wow. Sorry about the hickeys and not meeting you the next day like I said I would...

Humm... I went out with my cousin for 4 months before knowing she was... We found out when I invited her at a family party and she refused because she had a family party too, imagine the rest...

Besides that, there are 3 other guys having the exact same full-name as me living in the same town I grew up, we even shared pre-college classes together. I even receive 3 birthday cards a year, a real one and the other two are because they are clients with the same orthodontist clinic, which employs my aunt (which I never saw beforehand) as the receptionist...

And my roommate just hooked up with a new girl, I happened to meet her for the first time 3 days ago and it is in fact my closest cousin who I never seen for the past 2 years.
