Remarkable!  Only a few months ago, I was out riding
a motorcycle, and when I got home I learned my wife
had gotten a pain in her ribs.  It happened right
while I was out on the bike!  In the many worlds
interpretation of quantum mechanics, some subset of
my probability distribution wavefunction gets
squashed every time I go out riding, so in some
alternate universe, she got the rib pain 
*right at the same time I was nailed.*  spike
