A Facebook App that searches for long shot connections - I was just going through facebook and clicking on "mutual friends" and every once in a while there's a real surprise, like, "you know _____???? what a co-inkydink". So this would be an app that found the real long shot connections and popped up every once in a while and said, "did you know that ______ knows _____? What a co-inkydink!"

My Mamy always said, "Co-inkydink is as co-inkydink does."

Think you are possibly getting confused between my Mamy and Jimmy Durante He always used to say"Co- hinky-dinky-di Co-hinky-dinky-do." There may be a co-inkylink there somewhere.

Like it. Here's a goodun: I met a German astro-physicist in Florianopolis, Brazil, a few years ago. We were both backpacking and got on well so exchanged details in case we bumped into each other on the trail. Got a message from him a few months later, saying he knew one of my housemates. 3 or 4 years prior, he'd spent a week with a group of about 6 people in the jungle in Thailand, one of whom was my mate Date.

That's not a bad one...

Sometimes it's the next person in line who's the prefect match, like the third wheel which becomes your main form of transportation.
