Mind reading net.

 It happened again, I was looking for my door panel removal tool. Didn't say it to anyone, didn't type it anywhere, didn't write it down or online search. Come on here and at the top of the page, an ad for a door panel removal tool. Coincidence? probably.

 I was however, thinking of searching for something pleasing to the eye so every time I go online I'll see images that make me happy.

 I've told this one here before, a friend showed me his Dodge Challenger that had a red anodized catch tank added to the engine compartment. It was obviously not original and he asked if I knew what it was. I guessed some sort of catch tank. That evening, on line I was presented with an ad for one. That time I had at least talked about it.
 Someone said it's like looking for yellow cars, if you are thinking about it you see lots of them. Once when I had a white VW bug I stopped at a red light and there were 4 white bugs, one at each corner. No one moved when the light changed until a fifth car showed up.

Probably,  sometimes when it's something more obscure than usual it really jumps out. Frequency Illusion.
