I like to call that the Wizard Of Floyd effect. When you ignore all the things that DON’T add up to 23, the things that DO add up look a lot more numerous than they really are. Just like when you play Pink Floyd’s Dark Side Of The Moon while watching The Wizard of Oz. For everything that fits, there’s 100 things that don’t. If you try hard enough, you can find the same thing with any number or film/album mixture.
The discordians call this the law of fives (2+3=5), they say that every number is in some way directly or indirectly related to the number five. The law of fives is a metaphor for how the human mind sees patterns and order everwhere, even in places where there is no order.
Basically this is the idea behind the idea of the number 23 appearing everywhere. If you expect to see 23 everywhere you look you will see 23 everywhere you look.
The number 23 is there because we want it to be there. If you keep looking for something, you’ll find it somewhere eventualy. Im sure people could do the same thing you did with 2012 or LD4all for the number 16 or something. It’s the human nature really, we need to explore, discover and sometimes we find things that arent really there…
I seriously would advise you not to get all hyped up about 23 and 666 and the end of the world! I think that worrying about the end of the world and dumb numbers is not good for the human body. If you dwell on it long enough it might corrupt you and you’ll end up in a padded white room!

i hate how people associate random numbers and letters and roman numerals with a sopposed “evil number”. an number is just a numerical value… you cant give evil a numerical value, butcause evil (like good) is infinite.
Has anybody ever heard of Jack Van Impe? i cant stand the man, or his wife, Rexella. he’s always doing that. “did you know china’s increasing military force! this is a biblical sign!!this means they are preparing for war!” no duh mr. impe, thats usually what it means… oh, and “12 divided by 2 is 6! 6x111= 666!!! so, if you go to the twelfth book of the bible, then the 6 verse and from the first word of that, read the next 111 words, there will be a message from the DEVIL OOOOO!” man…
also, ive heard that it was the 21st, according to the Mayan calander, the web bot stock prediction system, the hermit merlin, the sable prophecies, and the delfine prophecies. cuz i have no life like that
Wow people are really going mad
Everything is related to 23… and 34, 4, 32, 39, 12, 65 and 234523477823832
Everything is related to everything in some way, and if you’re looking for it, you’ll find it, and everything else
If I had to say that the number 67 is good luck, people would look for it everywhere and find it everywhere and I’d be famous
