ser⋅en⋅dip⋅i⋅ty
–noun
1. an aptitude for making desirable discoveries by accident.
2. good fortune; luck: the serendipity of getting the first job she applied for.
Origin:
1754; Serendip + -ity; Horace Walpole so named a faculty possessed by the heroes of a fairy tale called The Three Princes of Serendip
----------------------------------------------
A good example of the 2nd definition would be, say, if your two Imperial kits (courtesy of Rich/RDH79) arrived one day, and your shiny new precision machined bushings for the Imperial kits (courtesy of John/johnnycnc) arrived the next.
Serendipitous indeed
Thanks guys!
Cheers,
Gary
