Caesar got stabbed 23 times
Kurt Cobain(think it was him) died on the 23rd of the year 1994 1+9+9+4=23
9/11/01 9+11+2+1=23
2 divided by 3 is .666

Didya know that April 20th is Hitler's birthday? It's ok, my mom's birthday is that day too.
To me, that movie looks like it could be either really good or really stupid. It's kinda hard to take Jim Carrey seriously. He's a good actor though, so he should do pretty well. It must have taken these people forever to think of all these facts that have to do with the number 23. Hmm, I wonder if they'll mention Micheal Jordan at all.

But speaking of MJ, he is one of the main reasons we wear long shorts in lax now, instead of short shorts.
I don't think so, I just heard something about how a mom from a college lacrosse team sewed long shorts for the team and then the idea spread. It eventually got to UNC, so MJ started wearing lax shorts because they were long. Later the whole team got them. And now the whole world is wearing long shorts. Pretty sure it's on e-lacrosse. The new stick-tech I believe. You might be right though.

I was born on 4/19.. lucky you dodged the bullet... now i share the anniversary of the Branch Dividians standoff in Waco, Texas, the Oklahoma Bombing. But it's also the start of revolutionary war (a good thing I think), abandonment of gold standard (also probably a good thing), and Bicycle day. All in all, I guess it's not that bad of a day... except for Waco and Oklahoma.

Everything you guys posted basically proves how you can manipulate numbers into whatever you want. And 2/3 is .666, I always thought the number was 666 not a decimal which rounds to .667 or .666667 or.66666666666666666666667.
Oh My God. I was totally born on May 27th (5+2+7) which equals 14, which is only 9 numbers away from 23, and it just so happens that 9 is the highest 1 digit number.
This is getting freaky.
Haha, thanks for proving my point.

Well my Winter League Coach, who formerly coached at Notre Dame and UNC as a assiant type thing, Said the have the whole story.
And it goes kinda like this;
MJ was throwing around with a lax stick, with some of his buddies from the team, wearing long shorts, and so on so forth.. I'll get the rest of it for you next week.

if they are trying to say that the character that jim carrey plays is suppose to be the devil, if they wanted to be a another religion horror film then use the things that are given to you. The only reason they used 23 is because nostradamous used 23 in one of his quatrains. It said the third antichirst, named mabus which backwards is saddam, and saddam did start a 23 war that started in 1989, will start a 23 year war. They did not follow 23 sequence because the world is suppose to end on 2012 and suppose to take control of a goverment by 2008. The start of the end is 2005, because it will take 7 years to happen. So all this 23 number adding stuff is bogus. The beast/devil will not be obvious and the number 23 has nothing to do with that.

That movie is going to be ridiculous. They just randomly picked big events throughout history, Found some mathmatical equation involving their date/whatever else and made it all into 23. You can do that with basically any date, If you think about it. The movie itself won't be any good. 23 will end up being like 06/06/06. We were all gonna die then weren't we?

You can make anything 23 if you try hard enough.

I just saw the movie tonight. I loved the movie, although the reviews were like C+ material. But seriously, once you watch it, you start adding everything together to try to get 23. I lost probably 5 minutes of that movie trying to add my SSN and phone number(s) together, families birthdays and what not. It gets in your head, but as for the movie I loved it (long time Jim Carrey fan). I felt it was a little rushed though, only about 90 minutes long, too much information to fit in 90 miuntes. Great plot twists and that good stuff, go check it out.
