Yes it was and I love the word serendipity. It's so cute!

Anyway, I don't quite agree that "the concept of serendipity is endangered." because of the internet. Yes, we do well-defined searches to find exactly what we want, but I can't count the hours where I have been led "astray" by a link that leads you somewhere new with other exciting links and so on and to new reads and news and blogs and jokes and so on. I think most of my clips are found through "serendipity", because I just happened to happen upon them.
