1. The faculty of making fortunate discoveries by accident.

That's the first definition on http://www.dictionary.com for the word "serendipity". I must confess, I was intrigued by this definition because they quoted it on "Jacob Two-Two" a couple days ago. (Please remember, I am a nanny right now, so it's okay that I'm watching these shows.) They quoted it, actually on Monday, because the place I was going to that night was named "Serendipity". Which was funny, because I'm not sure that I want whatever I'm going to have be something that's a fortunate discovery by accident. But I think it's humorous and well thought of, and kudos to them for naming their place that.

I haven't seen the movie "Serendipity", although it now also intrigues me. For all of you that have seen the movie, you're probably rolling your eyes because it must be quoted in there a lot. WELL! In my defense, I have not seen the movie so I have not had the priviledge of being immersed in the description. So, jest if you must, but I now think the word is cool.
