Not so much wierd, but fun.
My father was in the Navy in Vietnam. He was a communications officer on the ship USS Oklahoma City. His job was to talk to marines in the jungle and see where his ships shells were landing.
Turns out, one of my teachers in college was in the marines at the same time, and believes he had talked my father almost 40 years ago. He said when he saw my name on the roster for class the last name stuck with him for some reason. He never put it together until he heard my buddies call me 'westy', my nickname in college. Turns out, that was my dad's nickname in the Navy!!...and thats how he knew.
