I’ve always been fastinated by coincidences and luck and I am completely sold on the idea that the harder you work the luckier you get. Some things are just weird though.<\/p>\n

While away I visited the US and while driving along a freeway the traffic halted and I came to rest behind a truck. Nothing unusual there. But the unusual thing was that the registration plate on the truck was my online banking password!! I took a photo of it as I couldn’t believe what I could see. The plate was two alpha characters and four numbers long, so that’s a 26*26*10*10*10*10=6,760,000 to one chance of being exactly the same as my password.
