Those are really weird stories, some believable, others completely unbelievable. Like this tale about a man getting killed exactly the same way his brother was killed: driving the same motocycle in the same street and then hit by the same taxidriver (carrying the same passenger)on the same day -only a year later. How is that possible??? On the other hand, the title of the book is "bizarre world". Oh, well...

Nice read, but has not much to do with Brysons other works.
