Have you ever had something totally random happen to something in your life and it made you question just what the heck was going on in the universe?

Hey, guess what? It happens all the time!

The universe works in very mysterious ways and, while we might think that we’re in charge as humans, nothing could be further from the truth. All kinds of crazy things happen, forces collide in strange ways, and we end up with countless examples of how amazing the world is on a daily basis!
