Craziest hand ever?

The following was played at the local duplicate club tonight. I may never get a hand this freaky as long as I play.

MP pairs, Red vs White:

In 4th seat you pick up:

S: AKQ98xxx
H: Void
D: Void
C: AKJTx

Auction is 2d (Weak) - pass - pass.

I bid a simple and pragmatic 6 spades, expecting a make, all pass.

Opening lead was the Ace of Diamonds.

Dummy comes down with:

S: Jx
H: xxx
D: KQJTxx
C: 9x

So 6 is ice cold as long as trumps aren't Txxxx, and clubs similarly split.

Making 7 when my LHO throws a club and allows me to drop the queen.
