+Why Serendipity?\\
+“Horace Walpole (1717-1797) coined the word ‘serendipity,’ giving one word for
+‘the gift of finding valuable or agreeable things not sought for.’ The name comes
+from the fairy tale The Three Princes of Serendip. These three young men from
+Serendip (or Ceylon) traveled and discovered things that they were not looking for
+but that turned out to be of value to them.
+A version of this 5 century AD story was published in 1557 in Italian. In 1721, a
+French version was printed in Amsterdam, and in 1722 an English version was
+printed in London.” --Al Herman
