It's too good to be true, and it would be really strange if something like that happened in real life. But guess what, there have been uncanny co-incidences like these that will make you believe nature is throwing cryptic clues at you. 

For example, the Malaysian Airlines plane that went missing was the 404th Boeing 777 produced. Could it have anything to do with 'error 404: page not found' or are we relating two completely unrelated incidents? 

That's not all, here are ten other weird coincidences you wouldn't believe have happened in real life! Find more such coincidences here.

A tale of two women



Whoa! In Monza, Italy, King Umberto I, went to a small restaurant for dinner, accompanied by his aide-de-camp, General Emilio Ponzia- Vaglia. When the owner took King Umberto's order, the King noticed that he and the restaurant owner were virtual doubles, in face and in build. Both men began discussing the striking resemblances between each other and found many more similarities.
a) Both men were born on the same day, of the same year, (March 14th, 1844).
b) Both men had been born in the same town.
c) Both men married a woman with same name, Margherita.
d) The restauranteur opened his restaurant on the same day that King Umberto was crowned King of Italy.
e) On the 29th July 1900, King Umberto was informed that the restaurateur had died that day in a mysterious shooting accident, and as he expressed his regret, he was then assassinated by an anarchist in the crowd.
