By the by, I was born on September 2, 1968, and there was an earthquake in Iran on that very same day!! Somehow, I think the two incidents are unrelated. But my mother may disagree.

Coincidence?
Probably.

This is funny.... When I put my car stereo on random, it still seems to favor the same songs out of the 150 or so files I have on the CD. Now I know why... I'm just randomness-comprehension-challenged.Isn't the human propensity for pattern-making amazing? On NPR a few days ago, they did a feature on a study about the randomness of the song playlists on the new iPod Shuffle. People swore it wasn't random because they thought they kept hearing the same songs over and over, as if their iPod was favoring certain artists. A mathematical study proved that to be totally untrue, but it's next to impossible for the human brain to comprehend true randomness.

I was born the day before the very first airing of "Star Trek" on television... now I know THAT'S no coincidence!

The universe doesn't necessarily operate in patterns, but it definitely has a sense of humor.

ok a little more specific. Plattsburgh NY was entered in the war of 1812 on Spet 11th. They celebrate it every year.The Pentagon was built between 1941 and 1943. Ground was broken on 9/11, but it was in 1941, not 1946.
The US declared war on Great Britain on June 18, 1812.
And if you want to go ahead and make point about Hitler and such go ahead..... my only point was the pentagon really. A special was on the other night about it and they said they started building it on Sept 11, 1946. The section that was hit by the plane btw specifically.
I guess enough of this stupid thread since people are being mean.

I seem to remember that the Battle of Platsburgh Bay (which was the key naval turning point in the War of 1812 because the British figured out that their large warships, like the Confiance could be outmaneuvered too easily in the confines of Lake Champlain) was fought on Sept. 11, 1914. But I could be wrong on the year.
Yes, it is a cause of celebration up there as the United States was certainly the underdog at that time.
