It wasn't so much the fact of your having looked up the word, since I had no knowledge of where you looked it up, but from the fact of your having used the past perfect to describe that looking up.

Okay, folks, this is getting almost creepy. About four times in the last few days, I've been experiencing weird coincidences of seeing or hearing something, then seeing/hearing the same thing in a different place. For ex., I was watching a TV show where a character said so-and-so would be the last man standing; then I turned to the listings, and there was the movie Last Man Standing.
Yesterday I was reading a magazine article about a woman who created something called Jibbitz, from the word flibbertigibbet; I come here today, and here it is!

"You're traveling through another dimension -- a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. That's a signpost up ahead: your next stop: the Twilight Zone!"
Cue theme music.

I have a similar experience once in a while, usually as a word or topic occurring from different sources within seconds. It's just enough to mess with my mind about probability or a cosmic jester, not enough for me to take it as a gift or a curse.

I believe it was the Good Doctor A. who said, "I'd be surprised if these sorts of coincidences didn't occur."
