Salon.com: "You know it's a bad sign when your love handles start to sprout love handles of their own. You know it's really bad when people don't notice your love handles' love handles because they're distracted by the bulging valises beneath your eyes."

Serendipity
(dt. Serendipität)
Dictionary.com: "1. The faculty of making fortunate discoveries by accident.
2. The fact or occurrence of such discoveries.
3. An instance of making such a discovery.
[From the characters in the Persian fairy tale The Three Princes of Serendip, who made such discoveries, from Persian Sarandîp, Sri Lanka, from Arabic sarandîb.]
Word History: We are indebted to the English author Horace Walpole for the word serendipity, which he coined in one of the 3,000 or more letters on which his literary reputation primarily rests. In a letter of January 28, 1754, Walpole says that 'this discovery, indeed, is almost of that kind which I call Serendipity, a very expressive word.' Walpole formed the word on an old name for Sri Lanka, Serendip. He explained that this name was part of the title of 'a silly fairy tale, called The Three Princes of Serendip: as their highnesses traveled, they were always making discoveries, by accidents and sagacity, of things which they were not in quest of...'"
Internet-Glossar Methoden empirischer Sozialforschung: "im Englischen 1754 durch Horace Walpole geprägt. Unerwartete und unbeabsichtigte Entdeckung im Rahmen einer Untersuchung mit anderer Zielsetzung. So stolperte z.B. vor wenigen Jahren ein Mediziner, der mit Fröschen experimentierte, 'zufällig' über die Beobachtung, daß sich bei keinem der Versuchstiere eine kleine, im Rahmen einer Experimentalreihe beigebrachten Schnittwunde entzündete. Eine Analyse des Hautsekrets ergab, daß sich antiseptisch wirksame Bestandteile isolieren ließen, die nun pharmazeutisch genutzt werden können. Lit: Merton, R. 1995, S. 100 ff."
