    It's weird - I watched Big a couple weeks ago and it's been mentioned twice at Hexbear since then. I don't think I'm suffering from the frequency illusion. But it's true that probability is - cough - random.

    Frequency illusion

    Frequency illusion, also known as the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon or frequency bias, is a cognitive bias in which, after noticing something for the first time, there is a tendency to notice it more often, leading someone to believe that it has an increased frequency of occurrence.

      Baader–Meinhof phenomenon

      My favourite phenomena are named after Marxist-Leninist urban guerrillas

        Is it just a rumor that Tom Hanks is going to be in the English language remake of 2008 German film The Baader Meinhof Complex?

        Ninja edit: Wait a minute. Did I see a comment about that here?
