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

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

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.
