If two unlikely things happen together, do they only qualify as a coincidence if someone notices...example, if 3 identical triplets, separated at birth and raised under different names, all wind up sitting beside each other on a plane and then leave without ever finding out...was that a coincidence?
(next: coincidence and zen - bollox or what?)

Interesting suggestion. I guess coincidence is what you make it. But chaos is unescapable.

A coincidence need not be noticed or have any meaning. A meaningful coincidence is a synchronicity (courtesy of Jung), which is somewhat different.
