I watched that Jim Carrey movie last night, The Number 23, I do not regret doing so. I thought it was cool, though I don’t think it did that well in the movies. At any rate, the movie is about a man’s obsession with… 23. How the letters in his name, birthdays, seemingly everything in his life computes to 23. I had actually heard of this before, because 23 is one of The Numbers on Lost. So when I was watching the movie, which was pretty dark and disturbing I think, I began to think of my own life…
My birthday is April 19 ( 4/19 ), 4+19 = 23
My Dad’s birthday is December 5, 1942 ( 12/5/42 ), 12+5+4+2 = 23
My Sister’s birthday is June 6, 1974 ( sorry Lee ), ( 6/6/74 ), 6+6+7+4 = 23
I know, I know, it doesnt exactly “work out” all the time, and you have to fudge the numbers. I am no mathematician, but I wonder how many other numbers this works with, with these dates?
