sometimes life syncs up

Regularly argued as 'dualities', life has a funny way of syncing up sometimes. A number of years back, a math professor friend of mine introduced me to the concept and I've seen regular occurrences since. Long before that though, another friend of mine actually wrote a book on his theory of octaves. He basically suggested that all things; weather, emotion, aptitude etc. could be measured as part of a musical scale. It was rather deep and oddly, has helped me understand a lot of universal diametrics.

That's just some food for discussion, but what just happened was plain funny.
I had cartoon network on mute and last.fm running in the background. YouTube can be a wonderful thing when a demonstration is needed.

1. Launch this link and mute it. Scrub to about 00:24 seconds

2. Launch this in a new tab/window and allow it to play.

3. Watch link 1. It's pretty funny about 50 seconds in.

You misread, my TV was tuned to Cartoon Network (I really just can't take any more cable news) but muted. My laptop was running a last.fm tab. I just happened to glance at the tv when I noticed the humorous coincidence.

Now Pink Floyd and The Presidents of the United States of America are at the same level.

Gives me an idea for a real time youtube mixing app.

So anyone else ever experience dualities? Like when the TV uses the same word you were just about to say or type. Or when you're driving past the restaurant being advertised on the radio.
