I recently saw a movie THE NUMBER 23. It is a psycho thriller and it shows how people can get obsessed about a number and make their lives hell.
The examples quoted in the movie were interesting. How certain dates which are historically important add up to 23; how the earth is inclined at 23.5 degrees; how the tropic of cancer and capricorn are at 23 degrees North and South respectively; how there are 46 chromosomes in the human body – 23 from each parent; how there are 23 axioms in mathematics; how the digits of 23 when used in a division like 2/3 leads to 0.666; 666 being devils number.
It’s just a number as the female lead in the movie kept saying. But it sure made everyone else in that movie insane. After watching the movie, I did some math of my own and came up with the following.
1. My initials P and G are 16th and 7th letters of the English alphabet. 16+7=23.
2. My pet name has 5 letters. My first name has 8 letters. My last name has 10 letters. All add up to 23.
3. If I remove the dots from my blog link it has 23 letters. (pacificlotusblogspotcom). Count them to confirm. :-D
4. My year of birth is 1982 and birth month is March (3rd month). 1+9+8+2+3 = 23
5. I was born on a 23rd.
I am also getting obsessed! :-)
