I have often thought about this, and felt compelled to make a post, and tell about another experience that occurred to me today.
First, let me give 2 examples I have known about for the past few years. I have 2 and only 2 bank accounts. One that has been with me for about 30 years. Yes, you guessed it! Both of these account numbers end in 9 9 3.
Then it happened to me again today. A little background. I lost a very dear friend in 1998 to Leukemia. A brilliant man. Every academic award imaginable, partner in his firm, we stood-up in each other weddings. Shortly after his death, in March of 1999, I became a registered participant in the National Marrow Donor Program to commemorate EP’s life and memory in my own little way.
My thinking was, that maybe one day I could help to save a life!
Well, today, I received a letter from the NMDP to update my contact information. While updating my records on their web site, I saw that my Donor Record # is xxx9 9 3!
I hope this is the sign of good Karma!

If that's not a sign of karma, what is? Your'e a good man.
I have a 993 thingie too. My phone number for my business has been the same since 1987. I bought the business in 1997 and kept the number. 3086 993.
They were still making 356's back then!

I bought a 2003 Mustang Cobra a couple of years ago with the plates 993 RCK
If didn't already have a personalized plate on the Turbo, I would have moved that plate to it!

Your brain pays attention to those things that interest you. That's why when you are considering the purchase of a new car, suddenly you see them everywhere.
Just statistics for the combination of numbers in your documents.
For example, in a room of 50 people what do you think the odds are that two of them will have the same day and month birthdate? (1 April)? one percent, half a percent? Most people think it's almost impossible.
Actually, it's almost a given -greater than 99% in favor of a least one match (three matches are very likely). This was demonstrated at a class I recently took - we had three matches with 40 people!
A great bar bet by they way.
