A Coincedence? or Fate?

I just got a requested journal from the UNL Library so I could copy an article in it. The specific journal, Computer Vision, Graphics, and Image Processing Volume 28, Number 1, was published in October 1984. This paper is older than me, but not by too much. The library stamp states that it was placed in the collection on November 5, 1984, the same day I was issued into the collection of the human race.
