misstree 2 + 3 = 5.

The Law of Fives states simply that:
All things happen in fives, or are divisible by or are multiples of five, or are somehow directly or indirectly appropriate to 5.

9r3nd3l i am more of a believer in the law of nines

nine is the number of the ego

the digits in any whole number multiple of nine, when added together, will equal nine

it returns to itself each time

addy Where is RAW when you need him? I stopped looking out for 23s years ago b/c they are freaking everywhere. From the bottom of a beer mug, to Bob Newhart's apartment # (he and Emil.y lived in 523. Great team sports players tend to gravitate to #23, Michael Jordon being the best example. Torte Elvis read Moby Dick 23 times (and told Charlie that he "still don't understand it.")
One of the points of the "23 excersise" is a self brainwash type-o-thing. This however doesn't hold water b/c there really is "something" about #23 (and of course 5; if not more so.) Prove it to yourself and try noticing 12s or 37s or some other number. Then you WILL know. I don't know why or how, but 23(and 5) is THEIR number. Co-opting it is therefore an admirable undertaking.
I am reminded of a Firesign Theater record...
"OK, these 2 cretons are playing 3D chess; they play 5 games and they each win the same number of games; how'd they do it?"
"That;s easy, they weren't playing each other."
"That's good; but it ain't right..."
"I gotta go"
"What's a matter, 2, 3, 5, there GREAT!!"

monkometer no no no... what you're looking for is a genuinely extraordinarily fantabulous number. 42 would be that number. It is the answer. feel free to email me if you know what i'm getting at. 010530

oren Yankee legend Don Mattingly wore 23 on his jersey.

A saying from the 1920s was: "23 skidoo." (I'd love to know what it meant though.)

blown cherry 23 years I've inhabited this body
23 years I've lived on this earth
23 times I've known exactly how to end it
23 tears fell in the last 2 minutes
23 sobs escaped from my chest
23 times I tell myself I'm better now
23 times I lie

23 times I break my heart per day
23 times I refresh the blue
23 times more I break my heart

23 times harder than my worst moment
23 times I wish I could run away
23 fingers I see through tears

23 litres of petrol will get me how far?
23 hours of work will never be enough

23 my IQ when it comes to you


23 should never become 24

Leland i was 23 last year, and right now things aren't looking too shabby 040706

nonlucid I was thinking just today that 23 sounds like a nice age to be - comfortably far away from the horrors of adolescence yet still a good distance from 30... you still (hopefully, probably, statistically) have an infinite (well, close enough, it seems) amount of time to live... got the role of adult to smell good, worn in but not shabby, like shoes that you've gotten used to but still have lots of wear left

Lots of potential...
But maybe I'm wrong, and 23 really, really sucks. *shrug*
