Samuel Clemens, who wrote under the pen name "Mark Twain", was born two weeks after Halley's Comet reached perihelion in 1835. In his 1909 autobiography, Clemens wrote: "I came in with Halley's Comet in 1835. It is coming again next year, and I expect to go out with it. It will be the greatest disappointment of my life if I don't go out with Halley's Comet. The Almighty has said, no doubt: 'Now here are these two unaccountable freaks; they came in together, they must go out together.'"
Clemens died on 21 April 1910, the day after Halley's Comet reached perihelion.
Which was, all things considered, a total coincidence.
