Haha! No... But on most summer nights (I think it is between 1AM to 4AM) you get some pretty spectacular lightning displays followed by rumbling booms. I miss that, I rarely ever see lightning strikes in England... :-(
. I don't know about coincidence, but it sure is convenient. Similar to things that happen on December 7th (Pearl Harbor), September 11 (World Trade Center), my birthday, and other disasters.
(I seem to remember somebody [Eric?] saying that the earliest projects were not "live", but were part of adding some starting content to the site. Don't forget, Instructables is their second attempt at a "how to" website - the first was mainly kite projects.)

I consider 2005-08-20 to be Instructables' birthday. That's the day we publicly launched the site at a conference.
