It was a joke Peter. I was pretending to be a member of the 23rdians. Sorry, I wasn't very funny that day.

You aren't going insane. I believe you as the number is also appearing for me.

Probably not in any significant way though.

Psalms, the longest book of the Bible, is the 23rd book of the Old Testament, and the famous "Divine Shepherd" psalm is Psalm 23. Those repeating this popular claim overlook that it is only true in a handful of very specific modern Catholic translations. The famous psalm is actually number 22 in the Septuagint and traditional Catholic Bibles, while the books of the Old Testament appear in several different orders; Psalms is number 23 only in modern Catholic Bibles, being book 21 in the traditional Vulgate, book 26 in the Greek Orthodox Bible, book 19 in most Protestant Bibles, and book 14 in the Jewish Tanakh. It is therefore completely false for the Vulgate (chapter 22 of book 21), and only partly true for the King James Version (chapter 23 of book 19).

December 23, 2012 is the date on which the Mayan calendar ends, predicting an apocalyptic event.

Both the ancient Egyptian and Sumerian calendars begin on 23 July. Both calendars were apparently calculated from the date of the heliacal rising of Sirius, which occurs at that latitude around that time of year.

The list goes on and on.

They say that once you reasearch heavily into the 23 mystery, they say that the number starts appearing in your life everywhere. You become obessed, paranoid, it comes after you. It...haunts you. I am living proof. Heres my diary of how the number 23, is coming after me. It can mean many things, patterns, messages, clues to future events, many things. In theory anyway. Heres my diary:

11/19/06

This was the day I watched the trailer for the upcoming film "The Number 23". Intrigued, I went to the website, and researched it. I believe that it is not coincidence...its something...else. It must mean something...but what? And what does it mean to me? On the "Saw 3" website, on the messageboards, I`ve been making this saw story called "Saw 4 Rebirth RPG". On page 20 of it, I made a password for the plot. In it is the number 23.

11/20/06

I own the Saw 2 Uncut DVD. On the special features there is game you can play. Once you get through it you get to a safe, the number to the safe is 7293. You know what number is in it.

11/21/06

A white kid in my 2nd hr said his birthday was on the 23rd of some month, don`t remember month. Werid. Then in 4th hour my US History teacher said shes been working at my school for 23 years! Werid. Whys it keep from appearing?! This number... Then, near the end of 4th hr, coming from the bathroom, I passed a combination lock that had the numbers 23 fixed into it. Plus, 11/23/06 is coming up! Thanksgiving! Am sooooo ****ing creeped out! Then after school, standing at the light by mcdonalds, when I was just about to talk more about the 23 thing with my cousin, i looked over at the sign for armstrong, and the number 23 was on it! What does...it mean? Can i somehow firgure what 23 means? But how?! I`ve come to realize that you don`t look for the 23...it comes for you unexpectedly.

stay tuned....by the way, what u think? Any believers of this, cause if so, me and you need to talk!

and the point of this post is ?????? :hmm:

they did a movie with this number right?... with Jim Carey i believe...

Yes indeed, they did. Taken from the theoretical literature that has been published about it, then they used the film to link the number to the numerical paranoia that mr 23 is obviously suffering from, quote: "you don't look for 23, it comes for you unexpectedly."

A few people i know have the same ideas about the idea

The list the OP gives is ridiculous...You could make a list like that for any number if you look hard enough...And "permutation of the number 23, or a number related to the number 23" applies to just about every number there is...

Not buying into the necropost wisdom today unfortunately...

.Through out my primary years my dinner tiket number was 23,

.Through out my secondary years my dinner tiket was the number 23,

.In my class, the computer i logged into and was given to me for 5 years was labled 23,

.My 3 aunts houses door numbers were 23 through out the years that they lived in there houses,

.My uncles house is stil number 23

.The longest relationship i have and currently am in, her door number is 23

.My girlfriend loved her grandad so much, he past away on the 23rd

.My favourite films i watch alwasy hav the number number 23 in it, wheather it is from a calender date to a car registration number plate.

(there are so much more)

Daily life is just a mystery to me, i think to my self is this number 23 a good sighn or bad sighn.

The film 23 is really interesting as Jim Carrey's life style in the film is kind off simillar to mine, as i see the number 23 every day,

What do you think people, should i worried about this number? is it a sighn that something good/ bad is going to happen?

or is it just a coincidence?

.I was born on the 23

Cool.

.2 (devide) 3 = 0.66666667 (the 7 is the moth i was born in)

Ha. Not even relevant.

.Through out my primary years my dinner tiket number was 23,

.Through out my secondary years my dinner tiket was the number 23,

How many hundreds of times was it not?

.In my class, the computer i logged into and was given to me for 5 years was labled 23,

Nice.

.My logging I.D started off with the number 23 and ended in 666 (23*****666)

Log in for what? The pc? 666 isnt relevant, just popular.

.My 3 aunts houses door numbers were 23 through out the years that they lived in there houses,.My uncles house is stil number 23

Doesnt count at all, as its someone elses house and not yours. So again, irrelevant.

.The longest relationship i have and currently am in, her door number is 23

Again, thats for someone else, and not you. Especially if they dont live there anymore.

.My girlfriend loved her grandad so much, he past away on the 23rd

Cool. Again, this is someone elses life, not yours. So you cant include it in yours.

.On the day when the twin towers collapsed, i was on the bus alone going home, the bus stopped and there was a man standing outside, he pointed at me and turned around and showed the bak of his t-shirt and it said DEVIL 23

Another mans shirt, not related to you.

But what about all the other times you see something, a number, and something bad in the world happens? How come you dont include those?

.My name starts with a (W)... look on top of the (W) on your keyboard

Haha. Thats not even relevant here.

.My favourite films i watch alwasy hav the number number 23 in it, wheather it is from a calender date to a car registration number plate.

(there are so much more)

Umm, what movies?

Either way, nothing bad is going to happen to you. You only see the number 23 sometimes, and exclude the hundreds, if not thousands of times it never shows up on something significant. Dont buy into this.

So, the #3 doesnt really come up at all in your life does it? Unless you purposely work around it, to make it.

BEHOLD! You are all wrong. You see, the real mystical number is...the number SEVEN!

You see, when you divide 2/3, it actually comes out to .66666666666666xinfinity. But there's no way to possibly write it WITHOUT using the number 7...because you'll never be able to stop using the number 6 until you round. Therefore, all of your 23 "enigmas" all relate back to the number 7.

So now, join me all in worship of the Almighty Seven! Yes, join me in Seventology!

I'm not sure if it's been posted or not but find the letter "W" on your keyboard. W is the 23rd letter of the alphabet, look at the two numbers above it.

Haha, very creepy!

While I find it intriguing, I'm not really buying into the whole thing. If you hold any number with an ounce of significance, you're bound to find it and take notice of it. For instance, if you receive a receipt and the total is $6.66, you might look at it longer than you would, let's say, $8.40. Why? Because through our lives, we've either read or heard about 666 being the sign of the beast- so naturally, our minds make a connection with the number and subconsciously seek it out among other numbers. The same goes for the number 23. Atleast, that's my opinion ^_^

Also, I find the different routes taken to arrive at the number 23 a bit ridiculous as well. If the number 23 appeared frequently on it's own accord, rather than being the conclusion of random math equations-- I might hold this phenomena more weighty. If there was an exact mathematic formula that could be put to use and resulted in 23 every time, I might think twice about it as well.

Kanye West was injured in a car accident October 23, 2003.

Forget whatever I said. This obviously proves there is something to the number 23.
