and any other old bollocks that occurs to me.

Phasebook #3 - Earworm
Today I bring you a special Phasebook (where two adjacent posts on my Facebook wall, from friends who don't know each other, are related in an eerily coincidental way.)
The theme of today's Phasebook is 'Earworm'
Not only is this a Phasebook, it is also an example of the 'Baader-Meinhof phenomenon'. To whit; one of my colleagues was today saying that a certain piece of music was stuck in his head, and I explained that the Germans call that an Ohrwurm, from where we get the English derivation 'earworm'. Within an hour these two posts appeared on my Facebook wall. Spooky!

Phasebook #2
Another Phasebook. (Where two adjacent posts on your Facebook wall - from different Facebook friends who don't know each other - are coincidentally linked.)
My friends Orsi and Máté are from Budapest, and my friend Niz is visiting Budapest at the moment.

Synchronicity in Social Media (Phasebook #1)
Below is a screenshot I took today of my Facebook wall on my iPhone. Check out the consecutive posts from Kyle and Jennifer - who do not know each other, and are not on each others' friend lists.
Spooky, huh?
I shall henceforth call this phenomenon 'Phasebook.'
