dude, its just coincidence...
for the longest time I was like WTF? at the schools and TV programming.
because, It use to be that every time we covered something in school (Civil War, WWI and WWII, Industrial Revolution, Big Bang, EVERYTHING it seemed) Discovery or history channels or some shit would have a special on it... it was creepy that the day after we started WWII back in my Freshman year... there was a 12 hour special on it.
And when when I took Astronomy, after 2 weeks a brand new show called The Universe came on... series premier... It weirded me out to no end.
But thats just because it gets your mind thinking about it, History channel does WWII specials and shit all the time, but you don't notice them, until you start studying WWII.
So its just that, the links are always there, its about noticing them.
