Hmm I was just about to say can we rule out anything legal i.e insanity / accident
If so (thinking about the car one) it's not that he got her pregnant and she died during birth.
If your sock drawer has 6 black socks, 4 brown socks, 8 white socks, and 2 tan socks, how many socks would you have to pull out in the dark to be sure you had a matching pair?

With 2, 3 or 4, you MIGHT get a pair, but with 5 you HAVE to have paired one color.
What are the odds of getting a matching tie?
I'm on DSL, but my brain activity is at the speed of light.
