It would be an unexpected stroke of luck to find that 103 other Wordies listed this word for the first time today before a certain other word was listed again.

If "The Three Princes of Serendip" had been written much later, John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale could have starred in "Ceylonity" or even "Srilankanity."

I recall it was because the Brothers from Serendip always got lucky, because they were in the right place at the right time.

Have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Three_Princes_of_Serendip, it's really cool

i stumbled upon [serendipty] and fell in love

Amazing word, really.

We have absolutely nothing like that in Finnish. Life moves in serendipitous ways. Which is good.

The lottery fallacy?

Why are the forces for the universe set the way they are? Why am I so happy? Why did I catch the train today? Some will say that these are merely coincidences that had to happen to somebody. But others will reply: Yes, but they didn't have to happen to us. That there is so much happiness in our world; that we have these little, fortuitous, coincidences; truly, we have serendipity.
