Interestingly, (and I won't go into the math) it's not that weird. In a string of symbols that long, when you consider the number of four letter words in our language, and more generally the number of 4 letter strings with ANY meaning at all... A similar thing happens with 40 people in a room. What would you think would be the probability of any 2 of them sharing a birthday? I again won't go into the math. As I recall it's somewhere just slightly lower than 50% though.
Heheh another tangent.
