Psychic connection with my mp3 player

I'm claiming a very powerful and (understandably) little talked about feature of my Creative Zen Vision M player. I don't want to say that the iPod can't do it, because I don't know if it can.

I tend to queue up all of my music (about 4000 songs) when I'm heading to work. Sometimes I play a game and say to myself, okay, the next thing I'll hear is classical, and it will be the next song (which is weird, since I've got maybe 100 classical music tracks, definitely no more and probably less). But this morning, I was very specifically thinking about Jonathan Coulton for a variety of reasons, absolutely none having to do with listening to it on my player. I have one album (what is that, like 10 songs?) of his. About 10 minutes later, when I switch from my beloved WERS radio listening to the all-track queue, First of May comes up. How weird is that? Yeah, yeah, I know it's coincidence. But if people can believe in angels and demons, why can't I believe in the psychic connection between me and my player?

Oh and if anyone's reading this who doesn't know me personally, please note that I'm kidding. I just think it's freaky.
