Here's an odd one, Reading Terry Pratchett's The Truth and getting to a bit where a character speculates on how much trouble they're in, on a scale of one to ten. She plucks a random number out of the air and says they are {{several thousand, several hundred and a bit}} out of ten on the "being in trouble" scale. Except that the random number chosen by Terry: it's a sequence of numbers I have used, in the past, as part of my main computer password... exactly so. Number for number and in the correct order. Now if he'd got the alpha part as well as the numeric, I'd be worried...
