Occurances of the number 23

You're almost right - 23 is everywhere, but only as a corruption of 32, which
is itself a manifestation of The Digits, the hallowed 532.
http://www.soton.ac.uk/~glanv/weird/fivethreetwo.html has all the information,
Beware the evils of 721!

Evening, Erisian fellows! Ever add the letters of the four branches of the United States Armed Forces? (Air Force, Army, Navy, Marines).....Of course, the Coast Guard makes FIVE....

I fooled around with TWENTY-THREE women before I got oral sex. Is someone setting me up???????????????????????

Twelve monkeys (hmm...) was released on the 5th day of the year.

This self same night, Illuminatus Matt Groening provided us with 5 discodian references on The Simpsons.
(Including the FIVE simpson family members standing in a pentagon at the intersection of 5 states, and Mr. Burns mumbling "23 skidoo".

I just happend to notice one day in biology class that even Mother nature was a fellow 23 conspiritor. There are 23 chromasones in every human sperm and egg!!! also 23*3=69 (what fun!). The X-files is made by Ten Thirteen productions (10+13=23), also on the particular episode that I noticed this, the number of the abondoned missle silo that they kept the alien ship in was 1013.

Ok, listen up:
Divide 2 by 3, and you get 1.5. Times that by 5 and you get 7.5. Add 23 to this and you get 30.5. Round this up to 31, and you get the exact number of CDs my friend Bob owns!!!

Prety fnordfresh, eh?

Julius Caeser recieved 23 stab which (coincidentally enough) happened to end his life.

Eye \/\/ould \/ErYmuch liKe to say ThaT I hAv e 23 toes

51 is twice 23 (and a little bit)

There have been several since the summer of '91:
The first issues of Tank Girl-published in the first issues of Deadline Magazine U.K.-feature Tank Girl and co. emblazoned with the number 23.
William S. Burroughs has a serious fetish with the number 23.
Psychic Warriors ov Gaia have a serious fetish with 23 also.
I was taught Honors English as a senior in high school by a woman who made it a point to teach us the importance of "5".
These are just a few... amoungst many unmetionables and those silly little occurances and nuances.

Umm, I was born on the 23rd of September 1973.
23+5*10=73... pity about the 9.

Sh!t, I also remembered. Tom Robbins the author refuses to get out of bed in the morning until he hears 23 mentioned on the radio. Turns out he is usually out of bed by 8am.

Today, as I prepared to enter the bus it began pulling away.
The driver, (at the time I thought fortunately but was soon
proved VERY wrong) saw me despairingly looking through the
door as he began his departure. He stopped and opened the
door for me. However, he was looking down from his almighty
bus driver pedestal with utter contempt for his tardy, would
be passenger. I then politely told him in no uncertain terms
that if he was going to be an a**hole about it that I'd wait
for the next bus.
As he was driving off I thought I'd best make a note of the
number of the bus so as to enable future complaints to the bus
company....................Bus # 23!!!!!

I was eating Doritoes the other day and I decided to count the doritoes
in my Grab-BagTM. There were 23 doritoes in the bag!
THEY are using powerful subliminals on us! Beware Frito-Lay!

you need only 23 people in a room to stand an even chance of two of them sharing the same birthday. Work it out - if you're sad enough.

Yes ... It is I the archangel. My analytical children of darkness have
pleased me so i will humor you with yet another math trick:
6+6+6+2+3=23
Feel my presence within...

Check out that infamous Chicagoan Michael Jordan probably the most visible sports figure on Earth, due to his shameless peddling of worthless products that could scarcely need his endorsement. What's that emblazoned across his jersey?

Fear not you followers of THAT number, after 1994 we shall never have to endure another year of digits that add to produce that number.
Well not in this lifetime, just watch out for the next!!!

every time i look at a clock, any clock i see some multiple
of three it is usually always 9 . last summer i did see a
lot of twenty3s and 11:11s.i think each number should get a
query pagesuch as this one.23

The date today is.... scary

3/4 through and I'm still OK!

Yes I know, but I'm 3/4's
of the way through without (serious) incident
(touch wood-look finish table top).

Hm. The shopping channel (QVC) is channel 23 -> maybe
it has something to do with advertising.

It is 5/23 as I read this page for the first time.

The Simpsons - Bart is being chased by a mob.
Bart: 'wait - I can explain'
Member of Mob: 'how long is this going to take'
Bart: 'about 23 minutes and 5 seconds'

Blatent eh?

Hey, just thought I'd let you know I'm linking my
23 page to yours. Hope ya don't mind.

Genesis 1:23

"And the evening and the morning were the fifth day."

Irritating eh? They were taunting us from that far back.
Course the whole book is filled with this kind of junk.
Just look at genesis book one.

As relates to the D&M Pyramid on Mars in the Anomalies Department, the SqRts of 2 and 3 seem to appear more than coincidentally among the angles. These play a starring role in tetrahedral hyperdimensional physics. Also, architects of old considered forms based on the SqRts of 2, 3, and 5 as having the most appealing esthetics and used them often in their designs.

It wandered past me as I was going to the loo. I said high and it said very.

Add the number of letters in my name: Christopher Simon Elliott.

Note the total # of letters in my name.
The first letter of my name W is the 23rd letter of the alphabet.
I've also had an uncountable # occurrences with the #23.
And I just found out it was already a famous number.
Is this bad?

The 23rd letter, W, is the name of our beloved channelservice
bot on Undernet IRC. Lot of free thinkers there too...

This is at least the second person I have met who has ind-
ependantly discovered the number 23. A girl I know IRL was
in my house a few months back, and noticed a 23 sign that
someone (not me) had left on the wall. She said "ARRGH AGHRH!
ARGHAGR. That number turns up everywhere - I think it must
be unlucky for me.".

She was Really badly freaked out when I told her about
all the illuminatus/burroughs/discordian/rankin references.

Maybe it shook her reality a bit - it needed it.

Of course we all know the default port number for the telnet protocol...

It's in the _Principia_, right where it says what "Ewige Blumenkraft" is in Polish!
I'm Polish, I should know. it says: "WIECZNY KWIAT WTADZA". Now, there are *two* errors
in the *third* word. The errors are: (1) the word should end with a "Y", not "A" (genitive form
of the noun, FWIW) (2) Common mistake of transliteration: the second letter of the third word
is not a "T", it is a "L/" (overlay the slash onto the vertical bar of the "L" pronounced like the first sound of "Whew"). Two errors, third word. Hail Eris!

There were these dudes going round in black UN combats
displaying the moniker "SPIRAL NETWORK 23", on the 23/5/1996
I am led to believe this is a part of acid subculture
(certainly that day was a lycergic day) but know nothing else.
Somebody please tell me more.

Club culture seems to have picked up on it:
In "frontline" an army surplus and stuff shop in
Southampton (where KC is based) there was
these bright red bomber jackets with DNA-23 on the
back... Hmm.

In the most excellently Eristic film 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit?'...
"Roger, we already dropped the refrigerator on your head 23 times!"

When I was at the local post office one day with a friend, I was thinking of Eris and chaos in general (which I do frequently). When I was going to take a queue number slip, the machine didn't work at first. Eris!, I thought, and pressed again (or if my did, I can't remember). Out came number 5-2-3. I still have that paper slip. If anyone for some reason unknown would want a scan of it, mail me at m-15340@mailbox.swipnet.se.

Don't worry, after a while you'll find things like that
seem quite normal. You get steadily less worried while
your friends get steadily more.

Yea, unto me came the day of my birth, whence I was ripped from
the undifferentiated conciousness of Holy Chaos, 3/23/1973.
Though my conciousness is represented in diversity throughout
eternal mass schizophrenia, IWE shall reintegrate 12/10/2012.

All hail Discordia!!!!Hail Eris!!!Hail Eros!!!! IA Pan Pangenitor!!!
HAIL YES!!!!

Illuminati Mathematics translate to the following equation
which I outlined in my book The Illuminati Connection (reviewed
by Robert Anton Wilson in Gnosis in 88 or 89).
It solves the puzzle of the 17-23 connection (this is REAL
Illuminati stuff from a 1935 manuscript).
ERIS = 5+4+3+5=17=8
EREBUS = 5+4+5+2+2+5=23=5
Thus God is Erebus and 23 and Goddess is Eris and 17

Thee Order has done research to the result that despite the
repeated occurences of 23 which occur repeatedly the number
23 is also notable for its absence in any numerically
repeating occurences where it does not actually occur
repeatedly.

In Ashland, Oregon, a small college town near the California border, the local Masons Lodge does not have a visible address number on the outside of the building, but the numbers run odd on it's side of the street, and the two buildings on each side of the Lodge are 21 and 25.

In the Movie "The Net" the files transferred at the end of the movie begin with the number 23

When doing an Excite search for discordian topics, the number of pages found was 207151. This leads to 23 by way of 20+[(7+1-5)*1].

I only recently realized the importance of the number twenty-three, but I am already making progress in discovering the applications of the law of fives.
Notice: 5 x 23 = 90, and 9 + 0 = 9. Also notice: 32 - 23 = 9, 9 * 5 = 45, and 4 + 5 = 9.
I think I'm on to something! I think this deserves a follow-up!

I just performed a Webcrawler search for "23", and it returned 44758 results!
Adding the digits, we get 4 + 4 + 7 + 5 + 8 = 28, which is exactly 23 + 5!!!!

Simpsons Discordia

This week in the sunday episode of the "simpsons", Mr Burns
was about to kick an American football. His number chant
type thing was:

Hut, Hut, 23, Skidoo

The Dog Days celebrate the heliacal rising of Sirius the Dog star. The Egyptians originally based their calendar on this phenomenon starting on July 23rd, culminating on Aug. 11th. Nowadays The Dog days start on the 3rd of July while the star rises on the 23rd of July. The Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans held the common belief that dogs of all varieties went mad and the heat of the dog star contributed to the heat of the day. Weird huh?

My birthday is 5/7. 5+7=12+5=17=8+5 My best friend's birthday
is on 5/8. I will also note that 8 = 2^3.
42 = Life, the Universe, and Everything. 4*2=8 (see above)
There are 6 Vampiric traditions. 6 = 2*3
The letter W is the first letter of Woman and Womb. The copulating
female supposedly looks like a W (leg positions) as do the
female breasts. W is the 23rd letter of the alphabet. I'm not
being sexist this was taken directly from our most sacred text
Illuminatus! on this the 17th day of August (6 letters in August=2*3)
and 17 is 23 in hex (also see above for 1+7=8=2^3).
I have better ones that I'll add when I think of them, and hopefully
not personal ones.

1. Watchout for 32 too.
2. If something costs 77 cents then your change from a dollar
would be........ (so watchout for those 77's too).
3. I was born on 9/2/70. (year+month-day=77)

After initiating a search for the amount of sights on the
Web using the keyword "lovecraft," the Yahoo! browser
informed me that it had come up with 23!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Gaia Warrior told me to watch out and look for it.

According to the ancient historian/biographer Plutarch,
Julius Caesar was stabbed 23 times.

World Wide Web -- conspicuous use of the 23rd letter of the alphabet

the gothic/industrial band penal colony has an album

enochian magick'. the main chorus is, "we are the sons,
the 23 sons, the 23 sons of enochian magick".

Spiro Agnew, Richard M. Nixon's fated VP, died yesterday, 09/18/96, *23* years
after he was impeached from the Vice Presidency.

0+9+1+8+9+6 = 33, 33-10 = 23

I first located this page on the Internet at approximately 11:30 p.m.(1+1+3=5)on 23 September 1996. Unfortunately, I had some other things I had to do and didn't get to read it until past midnight, thus 24 September--but 9 (September)+2+4=15/3=5.

I turned 23 on the 23rd of this month (september).
Nothing bad happened. I've already noted this, but as
it's finally happened, I figured I'd tell everyone. bewdy.
Oh yeah, and the Terran Grudnukian Year begins on March
23. Go figure.

there are hidden 23's in the following meryl streep movies:she-devil (cereal box on breakfast table),death becomes her (m.s. tells isabella rosellini she looks 23),almost a 23 in postcards from the edge (groovy bar band scene at end of movie) & i think there's a 23 in deer hunter somewhere. if you know of any more please e-mail me at su6201@wcu.edu. KALLISTI!!!!!

On average every 23rd wave crashing to shore is twice as big as the others. Bob Dole wants to cut 23% of federal programs. The hot new diet pill is the first to be approved by the FDA in 23 years.

The source for the latter 2/3 of the last entry is Time mag. dated September 23, 1996.

World Wide Web=WWW
W=23rd letter of alphabet
WWW=23 three times

the 23rd letter of the greek alphabet is psi. like the name for 'shrooms. really. i read it. in a book. maybe. ok.

Take a look at the recently released Tool album AEnima.
You see those wierd moving eyes on the cover art? There
are 32 of them, and 32 is just 23 backwards (!). Also, I'm
becoming suspicious about a manifestation of the law of
fives: Stop sometime and count the number of digits on the
average mammal's paw (H. sapiens will do for a mammal).
Further research into this phenomenon must be conducted.

Henry Price -
"Founder of Duly Constituted Masonry in America"

His monument in the cemetary in the town of Townsend, MA
is an obelisk exactly 69" tall (69/3=23)and on one face
it is engraved with the following information:
"Born in London about 1697, removed to Boston about 1723..."

The monument is made of 3 pieces - base, block, and cap.
The monument carved on 2 sides - the east and west faces.
There is no date of death on the monument.

I saw an entire webpage filled with the number 23,
I think there were at least 23 entries....

2^(2+3)=32, which is 23 backwards

2^(2+3)=32, which is 23 backwards

another meryl streep 23: the clapboard at the beginning of french lt.'s woman has a 32 on it. (okay, so that's finagling it a bit)

OK, here's a scary one:
U235 is the Uranium isotope they make the bombs with...

I once bought a CD. The total (with tax) was $17.23.
I was installing a network card. On the back it was stamped "Inspected and Approved 23".

(2+3)*(1+7)=40=23+17

While I was reading about the significance of the number
23, I discovered that the numeric equivalent of my initials
add up to 23. M=13 D=4 F=6 This brought tears to my eyes
because it just seemed such an unbelievable coincidence.
It doesn't mean much, but it just seemed weird.

The future will be filled FNORD with gasballs, which roam the cities during twilight hours.
