Given an extremely large sampling of events, it's highly unlikely that there WON'T be notable coincidences our human brains can put together. Take a room of people. At what number does the chance that at least two of them will share a birthday become 50/50? I'll leave it to you to find the answer. Here's a hint. With each new person that knocks one whole day off the calendar thus increasing the chances more than you'd think, as you only need to match that list of possible dates now.
Why does anyone care about this guy? Yes, any death is a loss, but the fact is this guy was just an annoying shouting shill for products that no one needs and never really worked as advertised. GR specifically, why would you actually miss him? He wasn't charming annoying like Darunia, just annoying annoying. At any rate, I'm certainly glad for a new regulation that prevents commercials from having a volume louder than the shows they accompany. This guy "used" that more than anyone else.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
