Coincidences

Captain's blog, stardate 1893.2....

What do you know? Turns out I do have some entertaining news to share with you! Guess I was just too tired before to remember it.

Anyhow. Coincidence #1: On Sunday, I was eating my supper in the dining hall, as per usual. I had a salad, which is nice because I like salad if it's not just lettuce and dressing. So anyway, I was eating my salad and thinking that there was a pretty good variety of food in the dining hall. I was comparing it to the food at home and noticed that there had never been any hamburgers in the dining hall, whereas we have those every so often at home. So I was thinking "Hmm, I wish there would be some good hamburgers for supper around here..."
And then, the very next day, that's what was for supper in the dining hall.
They plan these things out more than a day in advance, so either whoever decides the menu predicted what I would want to eat on that particular day, before I even knew, or...the dining staff plants subconscious suggestions in the minds of everyone who eats there so that they'll want whatever's on the menu! How insidious!

Coincidence #2: This one doesn't involve evil dining hall staff. Also, the setup for this one is really long but totally worth it. So, I was tired today (as you might have noticed from my previous post's lack of coherence) and during math the professor was taking a long time to set up a problem that wasn't that hard (he was trying to explain the physics behind it). Hence, I got distracted and started to think about really random stuff. Namely: the similarities between Harry Potter and Star Trek, in particular the 2009 movie (because I'd been thinking about that movie earlier in the day). Seriously, think about it. Kirk=Harry, Spock=Hermione, McCoy=Ron, Nero=Voldemort. So I got to wondering what would happen if the Star Trek characters re-enacted the plot of the Harry Potter series. I was just wondering who would take on the more minor roles. In particular, I was wondering about Viktor Krum, who has to be involved with Hermione (Spock), which led me to think maybe he could be Uhura.
Now, most Harry Potter fans could tell you that Viktor Krum is famous for using a Quidditch move called the Wronski Feint. Just as I was thinking this, the professor introduces a concept called...a Wronskian!!
I kid you not.

Isn't that awesome? By the way, if you have more Star Trek 2009/Harry Potter correspondences, leave 'em in the comments.
