Interesting coincidence...

It was just a year ago that I posted a home-rolled mnemonic to distinguish between offgassing and outgassing.

For the first time since then, today I needed to know the difference.

The good news: The mnemonic worked, and I chose the right word!

The so-so news: I felt compelled to go peek to make sure. (Which is why I know it's been exactly a year.)

Speaking of coincidences, I seem to recall a quote by Isaac Asimov - roughly on the theme that coincidences are constructs of our minds - that seems, in retrospect, to have popped up with alarming regularity in the past, but which I cannot for the life of me find on Google at the moment. Am I hallucinating (about the quote, not my inability to find it)?

Cheers...
