Interesting Mark Twain Fact

[morebooks4me]

According to Mark Twin, a Biography by Albert Bigelow Paine, Twain was quoted in 1909:

"I came in with Halley's Comet in 1835. It is coming again next year, and I expect to go out with it. It will be the greatest disappointment of my life if I don't go out with Halley's Comet. The Almighty has said, no doubt: 'Now here are these two unaccountable freaks; they came in together, they must go out together.'"

He died of a heart attack on April 21, 1910 in Redding, Connecticut, one day after the comet's closest approach to Earth.

He also saw the death of his little brother in a dream one month before it happened.

That's nothing. I dreamed of my grandmother's death eight years before she died. Of course, the content of my dream was not remotely like my grandmother's death.

I was born three months before Pearl Harbor was bombed. I expect to die three months before some other notable military event involving the U.S. Perhaps I'll die three months before they catch Bin Laden. I'm not predicting that, though. I wouldn't want someone to kill me to improve the chances of getting Bin Laden.

Phahahaha are you serious??? I can find a lot of events which happened in a range of 3 months around my birth. This doesn't make me Mark Twin. I'm not sure how dreaming death is special. It's scary but it happens to us all. i'm sorry for saying it
