Lives going strangely parallel

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 am from Munich, Germany, and made a friend when I was 24, only to notice that we had the exact same birthday.
So far so good, I received a notice that I could spend my exchange semester in Stockholm in 2008 and by sheer coincidence, he had been in the same town, in the same hostel, in the same room just a year before for an exchangesemester.
To top it all, I met a girlin London (she also was from Munich), that I was dating for some weeks. It was a big hello when we found out that she was my friend's ex girlfriend!
