Coincidence?

MGH Team leaders Kat & Tony have already had their 1st "coincidental"
experience for today.

Kat has been nudging Tony to go to The Henryton for a while this
morning. He finally called PRRS team leader, Jenny, to get the scoop
on the day's events. In a frustrated "tease" Tony said aloud "Kat
wants to go", inferring he didn't. Just as he said this something
started beeping in our hotel room. Our teen and I thought it was the
alarm clock at first. After listening closely (Tony was still on the
phone) we discovered the sound was coming from our Ghost Hunting gear-
box. When it was opened up we discovered the beeping was coming from
our GhostBox, which is a modified Radio Shack AM/FM Radio.

Coincidence? Possibly. Heck, maybe even "probably". However, in an
effort to stop the beeping and save the batteries we agreed to just
take the batteries out and flip them around. We could put them back
in later. So the first battery was removed. The radio remained
powered (not beeping, because we had pushed a button to stop that
already). We removed the 2nd battery. It still remained powered.
After removing all 3 batteries the radio stayed powered for almost 2
full minutes before the screen finally blanked out.

The initial beeping was, of course, incredibly coincidental given the
chain of circumstances.
