So Strange, So Strange!!!

If you haven’t already read yesterday’s odd ball story that relates to this one, go here to read it:

Now, on to today’s related story:  I’ve been at my desk for about an hour, off and on, running to the kitchen, doing little things around the house… and I just sat down to type, happened to glance at my desk, and this is what I saw:


There has been no one else in the house.  I don’t know what happened to the larger ten peso piece, but I do know I was clicking the flashlight off and on last night.  I did not, however, place the coin next to it or upright!.

To test out a theory, I just now lifted up the flashlight and knocked the coin over, then put the flashlight next to it, thinking perhaps one or the other had been magnetized, but the coin stayed in place flat on the desk and did not rise to the occasion. Then I tried placing the coin on edge several times, to no avail.When I sat the coin on edge propped up against the flashlight and moved the flashlight, however, the coin stayed on its edge. When I tried tossing it on the desk or dropping it, never once has it landed on its edge.  Very very strange. I know it is just a coincidence, but I’m curious about how I could have moved the coins without being aware of it and it is a huge coincidence that the small coin should wind up on edge twice in a row when in 68 years of life, I’ve never had this happen before.

    I, too, wondered about magnetization — guess not! How intriguing — could you have absently played with the coin after taking a photo of it? Otherwise, it seems a little spooky!!!

      I guess anything is possible, and certainly it makes more sense that I set it up and forgot, but I am wondering why one coin was there and the other wasn’t! And I’m sure I didn’t set it up the first time. If I go back now and it is set up… uh. I think I’ll go stay with a friend for the night!
