Childhood neighbor

understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.
Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.
I was on FB and a old friend from HS (class of 96) sent me a friends request. I accepted his request and noticed he was married to a woman that happened to be my neighbor back in (1984-1988). Being curious i started looking through her FB page and seen her dad, mother, sister and brother which brought back old memories of my childhood and the time spent playing in their yard and the few occasions her mother babysat me. I haven't seen this girl in 27 yrs and at that exact same moment i was looking at her FB page her younger brother was being interviewed by a local tv news reporter on my TV. I had just looked at his name on her page and BAM! there he was, on my t,v. My HS friend who sent me the friends request not only happened to be married to a girl i used to be neighbors with but he and i also share the same first names and his last name (Matt) is also my middle name (Matt) which happens to be his brother-in-law, my old neighbors, first name (Matt). I'm sorry for the confusion, hope you were able to follow along
