Title: Baader-Meinhof

You may have heard about Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon before. In fact, you probably learned about it for the first time very recently. If not, then you just might hear about it again very soon. Baader-Meinhof is the phenomenon where one happens upon some obscure piece of information– often an unfamiliar word or name– and soon afterwards encounters the same subject again, often repeatedly. Anytime the phrase "That's so weird, I just heard about that the other day" would be appropriate, the utterer is hip-deep in Baader-Meinhof.

Reminds me of the time I played with Beneath A Steel Sky (good old Amiga game :D), and a week later everyone used the word ‘vigilant’ a lot.

Or is it just synchronicity ;-)
