* ''Series/{{Quark}}''. In "All the Emperor's Quasi Norms", Zorgon threatens to kill Quark unless he reveals where "it" is. Having no idea what he's talking about, Quark plays for time by saying it is on a particular asteroid. Turns out "It" really is there, causing Quark to believe this is a case of BecauseDestinySaysSo when he's told by the locals of a legend about a stranger who will use "It" to defeat their enemy. But it turns out that "It" is just a worthless rock and the whole thing is a coincidence.
