The 23 Enigma

Post by Mason »

Is it not amazing how so many people can get caught up in a number but when you think about it. It has alot to do with life for example

Each parent contributes 23 chromosomes to the DNA of a child.

It takes 23 seconds for blood to circulate throughout the entire body.

In humans, the 23rd chromosome determines gender.

There are 23 letters in the Latin alphabet.

Julius Caesar was stabbed 23 times when he was assassinated.

Earth’s axis is off by 23.5 degrees.

The Knights Templar had 23 Grand Masters.

William Shakespeare was born on April 23, 1564.

William Shakespeare died on April 23, 1616.

The ancient Egyptian and Sumerian calendars begin on July 23.

The Titanic sank the morning of April 15th, 1912 (4 + 1 + 5 + 1 + 9 + 1 + 2 = 23)

The Mayans believed the world will end on December 23, 2012 (20 + 1 + 2 = 23)

John Dillinger robbed 26 banks, but only 23 for money.

The distance from the center of Mars to its nearest moon is 23,500 km.

230 people died on TWA Flight 800.

Kurt Cobain was born in 1967: 1+9+6+7 = 23.

Kurt Cobain died in 1994: 1+9+9+4 = 23.

Add some more if you find it. look out the number is watching you.

P.S. Also add your opinino! :P

ODD! I have the same thing with the number 1. I see it everywhere. But what does it mean!

I like you too. but yes thats alittle different 1 is impossible to live without seeing everywhere but the world does not revolve around the number 1. I'm sorry you are the weakest link. But seriously 23 revolves around everything. I was born 26 03 1985 (1+9+8+5=23) (26-03=23) freaky I know! Yes I am aware my birthday is next wednesday.

Actually seeing that the majority of your calculations should end with the number 5, that makes the entire "23" theory invalid.

PS - everyone knows that the 9th wave is the largest and the 9th 9th wave is even bigger (in Ocean)

9x2 = 18 (1+8 = 9)
9 x 23 = 207 (2 + 0 + 7 = 9)
9 x 376 = 3384 ( 3 + 3 + 8 + 4 = 18....1 +8 = 9)
9 x 4771 = 42939 (4 + 2 + 9 + 3 + 9 = 27....2 + 7 = 9)
......etc

a cat has nine lives (its a fact)

9 planets (and pluto is the 9th!)

pregnancy lasts 9 months

23 ---> 3 to the 2nd power = 9 :D

0 is even more superior than 9!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

0 x 9 = 0 (end of story)

0 x anything = 0

yes the number of licks to get to the center of a tootsie pop is actually zero!

but wait....0/0* = 1 yup Tricky is right on the money

* lim x/x as x-->0

No it is not, it's just selection bias - we tend to notice things once we start thinking about them. It's a human feature.
