Now, what the heck is it you want to know?

This post doesn't make sense to me (yeah, yeah probably some "it's just you" replies coming)...

I just sent a couple of packages packages (I'm selling some stuff in the trading station), and both people had their names in their addresses.

No biggie, paranoids, I just thought it was strange.

Maybe I was going to make the groundbreaking discovery that people who like shmups also like to live on a street named after themselves.

actually, ths isn't as weird as it sounds... when I was still studying psychology I read a scientific paper about the so called "name letter effect" which basically found that (for example) people named Dennis have a slightly higher than average chance of being dentists and living in Denver.

Supposedly, this is because people subconsciously emotionally associate themselves with the letters in their name, an thus feel more at ease if their name is in some way congruent with the name of their profession or place of residence, or the name of their girlfriend (etc etc etc).

anyway, whatever you may think about this explanation, the statistical effect is real!
