Like everybody else mentioned its a bloody number. And that will happen with anything you obsess over.

But have you tried saying Candyman in the mirror 5 times? That shit is fucking scary.
I thought you only had to say it three times?

Oh no wait, that's Bloody Mary.

I finished the movie at 10:07. Today's date is the 6th. 10+7+6=23
I'm graduating high school in 2012. 20+1+2=23

My join date on The Escapist was January 4, 2009. 14+9=23
Thats just silly. You are dividing the date at different points.
Firstly 1 + 0 + 0 + 7 + 6 = 14...
You graduate in 2012 2 + 0 + 1 + 2 = 5.....
and then 1 + 4 + 2 + 0 + 0 + 9 = 16...

You clearly are doing it wrong.

S is the 18th letter of the alphabet, as well as being in my username, the date was the fifth of August 2 days ago, the light is on, there are four beer bottles on my desk, and I feel like having three days off. So useing your maths: 18 + 5 - 2 + 1 + 4 -3 = 23

Wow that really is amazing.

the caos theory states that given any situation coincidences are bla bla bla

layman terms: "SHIT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME DONT TRY TO MAKE A RELATION AMONG IT"

Not according to the many movies and tv series episodes that adopted the story, or to the wikipedia entry [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloody_Mary_(folklore)].

*Edit* Otherwise a whole lot of people ordering a bloody mary in a bar with a huge mirror would be in a whole lot of trouble.

To quote the Principia Discordia (which, from what I am told, is where the idea for Number 23 came from):

"Will whoever stole Brother Reverend Magoun's pornography please return it."

Now the quote relevant to the topic:

"I find the Law of Fives to be more and more manifest the harder I look"
(Law of Fives states everything can be related to the number five)

The point is you are finding that those things in your life equal 23 because you are forcing most of them to. Another thing is people don't notice everything that equals other numbers because their attention has been brought to 23. I'll do it with 19.

Birth year: 1990, 1+9+9+0=19
Letters in my full name (which I'm sorry I wont share): 7+6+6=19
I was born on my parents 4th anniversary: 5(may)+10(date)+4=19
last 4 numbers of my phone number(not in the correct order): 0+7+9+3=19
I am 19
My zip code (not in order): 2+2+4+5+6=19

This is without me forcing any of the math.

edit: Im the 32nd post which is 23 backwards! Omg I'm freaking out now!!

Humans are pattern recognition machines. Fnord. Selection bias. Fnord. Buy more goods and services, and you will be safe and happy.

I tried that once. I was severely disappointed. :(

But I´m 23. Holy crap! They are onto me. I must hide.

Seriously though, you can find weird patterns from just about everything, if you look hard enough. There´s no real mystery in it. Everything precise and predictable (like numbers, geometrical figures...) tend to form patterns, and since we are creatures fond of everything logical and systematic, we like finding out patterns, consistency, around us. If there isn´t any consistency, we invent it. Well, that´s how I see it.

(Response to original post.)

Show us, by all means, the many different things in your life that add up to 23, and we'll show the vast amount that doesn't. Complete BS.

(I see someone's been watching 23...)
