Just saw this on "Ripley's Believe It Or Not!", I wish I could find a URL to 
give.

This 10-year-old girl named Laura Buxton in England (I can't remember the 
town she lived in) ties a note to the string of a balloon with her 
grandfather for fun, to see if she can find a penpal; the note says to write 
back to Laura Buxton, with her address and so on.

7 days and 400 miles later, the balloon lands in the yard of another little 
girl. She writes back. Laura calls her, the two families meet, and all 
become friends.

Here's the weird part: the other girl is also named Laura Buxton. She's also 
10 years old. They have the same eye color. They each have a 3-year-old 
black Labrador, a rabbit, and a guinea pig. They're the same height and 
similar build. They have similar personalities. They were born in the same 
calendar year, and both sets of parents were married in the same year. None 
of the people involved knew each other before this coincidence.

Surely this is UAble somehow.
