That is weird. I haven't had anything quite like that. My weird connection is that my roommate from college 800 miles away is a mutual friend with H's BFF's fiance. Only one connect so not as strange but still random and weird.
I met someone about 6 months ago that we have about 200-300 (not kidding) friends in common. Some are very good friends with both of us but we'd never met. How we did meet was I mentioned to a mutual good friend that we were attending a boating-related function that weekend. He mentioned his good friend X was going. When we got there I figured out who X was, he walked by me in a hallway and I saiad "Mutufual friend says hello"... he turned around and said - what did you say? After that we started talking and figured out we know at least 200 people in common.
It is weird when that happens. I saw my nephew comment on a post made by one of my friends (our kids are in school together); turns out they worked together years ago.
He was probably mortified that she's my friend now, cuz I guess they used to get pretty crazy off hours. Ha.

Damn! I don't think I know 200 people total lol!
I have found really strange and far reaching connections before, though!
