A Weird Coincidence?

Mark Twain was a popular American author who wrote such books as
the Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn.

Mark Twain was born on the day of the appearance of Halley’s Comet in 1835,
and died the day following the comet's subsequent return in 1910.

He himself predicted this in 1909, when he said: “I came in with Halley’s Comet in 1835.
It is coming again next year, and I expect to go out with it.”
