On the first and second weekends in November, Washerstians celebrate "Deja Vu Days" to commemorate two early meetings of the Dickinson Organization of Poetry Enthusiasts (DOPE). 

The first meeting took place on November 2, 1871, and the second meeting occurred one week later on November 9th.  Since 1959, the city of Washerst has celebrated with a Deja Vu festival!

Both of the November 1871 meetings are pictured at the left (click to enlarge).
Below:  The annual DOPE meeting on November 6, 1899, and then the second meeting on November 13, 1899.

What sensation is reported most often by those individuals who experience deja vu?


Doing the laundry  (This sensation is reported most often by women -- sometimes more than once per week -- occasionally by men, and rarely by college students. )

What do you call the phenomenon when one individual experiences deja vu at the same time as another individual?
Deja Too 

NOTE:  If it is experienced by three or more people, it is known as "deja few."  "Deja two" is when one person experiences an identical feeling of deja vu for a second time.

What do you call the experience where you think you recognize a stranger?

Deja Who



This phenomenon was first recognized by Sister Mary Margaret Boombah (pictured at the left) at Quebec's Monastic Family of the Perpetual Scolders.  A new nun joined the family, and Sis Boombah was certain that she was Sister Rosetta Stone, whom she had met her years earlier in Hackensack, New Jersey.  However, the postulant was, instead, Margarita Ondarox of Tupelo, Mississippi.

Note:  The feeling of "Deja Who" should not be confused with "Deja Knew" -- the phenomenon when you see someone you know, but you can't think of his or her name.
