    I think that you can pretty much take anything and get the number 23 from it. People need something better to do and realize that its just chance. So what if Charles Manson was born 11/12. Many, many other people were born on that day as well and Kurt Cobain was nothing but a depressed junkie who couldnt hack it in the real world, so like a coward, killed himself. We all need to stop glorifying his death like he was somekind of wounded, misunderstood soul and see him for what he really is. And as far as using the dates to add up to the number 23, somethings the first number is used as a whole number and somethings it isnt, as they are added together instead. We need consistency to prove the real connection between the number 23 and these dates. However, it should be a pretty good movie anyway
  • Brandi
    yeah I am kinda looking foward to this movie, I am a huge Jim Carrey fan. Here is the problem I am having...Dont you think they planned for this movie to come out on the 23rd of Feb? DUH! lets all freak out OMG its the 23rd.And the distance from Mars to its moon, is 23,500, which technically ISNT 23, its 23 and a half. As for the flight of the airplane, Two Hundred and thirty people died, NOT 23, still technically not 23, tho who cares it has the numbers in it, OMG if you turn around 32 its 23, who rightly cares about these stupis numbers. Accually 2 divided by 3 is not 666. Its accually 0.6666667. Alls I wanted to say is you can do that 23 thing with almost everything so stop freaking out about it, ITS JUST A MOVIE PLOT!!!!
  • Julian
    Oh come on people. It's a freaking movie, they wanted to have a basis for it. It seems like pretty good idea. People need to calm down and just relax, It's a movie you're not going to die from a movie. There was no mass mishaps when The Omen came out... 6-6-06.. so relax. It's a movie, you'll be fine, just go watch it with your friends and enjoy the creators and actors creativity.
  • Battlecruiser
    Like Brandi said above, this can be done for any number. Like if I wanted to, I could think of multiple things for, say, the number 7. But I have a feeling that that is the point. The movie makers are trying to show the effects of irrational hysteria, and what happens when people can't realize that it is just a coincidence, and what happens when people try to find a deeper meaning to everything.
  • Charity
    If there's no proof that these numbers have an real circumstance in why they appear the way they do, then there's no proof that there's not a reason. I think that there's possibility in everything and people should keep their minds open to that.

  • Korina
    Actually this movie is based on a master's thesis from a professor at the University of Toronto
  • jade
    i think that this film will be really good its brilliant how they have done this like the worlds axis and the chromosome thing and DNA but although Kurt Cobain was an excellent star he wasnt as important as say Julius ceasar or william shakespeare, there were lots of stars bigger than him say marylin monroe or elvis most people havnt even heard of Kurt Cobain.
  • Leo
    Don't forget that 09/11/2001 adds up to 23 !!
  • bella
    yea i really do think that this film is gonna b good! it will b interestin 2 c Jim Carry in a role that isnt comedy.but jade i think that kurt cobian was a very important star and along with elvis,marilyn monroe&john lennon is one of the most recognisable iconic people ever.

    Woah! I was born 3 days after christmas! so 25-3 is 22! thats only one off of 23! Coincidence? I think not

    WRONG!!!
    1. 3 days after means 28th not 22!
    2. the word after actually means + (25+3=28)
  • jack!
    Well I've seen the film, and yeah, I think that it was a good film, the plot has a great basis but to be honest, I think that the film could of been done little better...
    As soon as I heard the plot, I had to see it, but I was a little dissapointed with the way it turns out, (I wont give everything away)
    apart from that it was an okay film.
    I think that to be honest most of the things mentioned like the chromosones etc, could of been made up for any number...
    By the way...
    Kurt Cobain is one of the biggest icons ever to walk this planet!
    I love the way one of my idols were brought into the film, that made me feel great to be a part of the movie in some way.
  • Goby
    To continue with before...kid, you really need to refresh on your addition & subtraction...
  • jack!
    so what does every1 think bout this, i mean does ne1 here actually believe that a number is responsible for all bad things in this life?!...
    i mean c'mon, i no loads of bad things involved with 7 to be honest so i mean what does that say for our old friend 'lucky number 7'?
    shall we immeadiately change our lotto numbers incase 7 isnt actully the way to go...
    i mean yeah, i think that paranormal stuff like this is intrigin, and to be totally honest i wanna believe this, but i got a naggin doubt in the back of my mind sayin that
    ITS JUST A NUMBER!!!!
    i mean seriously is there one person in here that does believe this, and has become in the slightest...obsessed with all this?
    cause id like to hear more...
    thanx! :)

    Kurt Cobain Lives on...

    The thing about all this adding up crap is, it's not even being done correctly in regards to proper numerology. Basic numerology is every number breaks down to a 1 digit number. So, 23 breaks down to 5, so that if you want a spooked out number (haha), it should be 5. The numbers 11 and 22 are not supposed to be broken down in numerology, too long to describe here what the belief is. So for example, the WWII reference would be as follows:

    11/1/1939
    11+1+1+9+3+9= 34
    3+4=7

    Guess that kind of tears up the lucky 7, eh?

    And the JFK killed date:
    11/22/63
    11+22+1+9+6+3= 52
    5+2=7

    OMG!! Two bad things happened on a lucky number 7 day!! Goes to show, you can read whatever you want into whatever you want to make it do whatever you want.

    Oh, and about the Kurt Cobain death date, 1994. He was the only person of "importance" to die in 1994? And anything that happened at all in 1994 is spooky? Christ, that is when my grandmother died and I graduated college! I'll be under my rock if you need me!!
  • Drew
    The year of the original end 2 tom and jerry was supposed 2 be 1958 which equals 23 for example 1+9+5+8=23
  • Justin
    I think there is too many coincidences that have happened in the past, and predicting for the future that make 23 "just a number". Its like a secret code, and I am currently reading a book on the number 23 written by a professor that taught in Toronto, Ontario Canada.

    Believe.
  • 9/11 the date was 9/11/2001 when the twin towers got struck.
    (9+11+2+1=23)
  • Sarge
    If you dont know who kurt cobain is you neeed to go buy a Nirvana cd. And for those who think that cobain was a junkie who couldnt take it in the real world, you are a fool. His views on society were revolutionary, and for him to think that he had become what he hated most was just to much to take.

    I was born on the 23rd of May. Crazy shizzle

    and for the lucky number 7 theory...

    tupac was killed at the age of 25 at 4:03

    2+5=7 4+3=7

    he calls it his 7daytheory
    in his makaveli album in one of the songs there is someone saying 7 years over and over again
  • duncan
    he was shot on the 7th survived the 10th,11th,12, and died on the 13th that's 7days
  • duncan
    he was shot 5 times

    Unfortunately, as with things like the Da Vinci Code (fiction), Bible threads and paranormal codes of the like, you will normally find what you are looking for...even if it's not there you will probably find it if you look (or squint) hard enough. What about other numerological coincidences that do NOT add up to 23? These far outweigh the 23 codincidences. Keep looking for somthing, how ever remote and you'll probably find it, even if it's not there, you will probably find it...
  • Nicholas
    ok....little confused.... my birthday is november 11 1980 so how do i count that?

    nov is the 11th month right? or is it 1+1? example...

    11/11/1980 = 1+1+1+1+1+9+8+0=22

    but some of you guys are counting the 11 as a whole. example...

    11/11/1980 = 11+11+1+9+8+0=40

    maybe this 23 crap doesn't apply to me, hun?
  • Taylor
    does anyone know what the title of that book is by the college professer from the University of Ontario?
  • Mike
    Saying this number 23 stuff is "total crap" is no different from saying Christianity and Catholism is crap too. Its a belief system, so leave people alone. I personnaly dont belive in God. But for this 23 stuff, i liek the idea of having everything relate to 23. it adds interest into normally boring things. a new car game is lookign for liscence plates that relate to 23. so stop complainign.
  • Kim
    We all need to open our eyes to the things around us. The number 23 is such a number your right but everything has to have some kind of design to it. We all know that numbers are simply numbers but what is really behind this numbers. Sometimes the good things are meant to be bad. There kind of hidiing.

  • THE MYSTICAL RELATIONSHIP OF THE NUMBER 23

    THE LAW OF FIVES ( 5 )
    By

    DA’ NOIZE

    INTRODUCTION
    This book is not simply another esoteric treatise on numerology, but one of divine prophetical and mathematical relationships of phenomenon and the numbers 23 or 5. It is based on my observations of world events, given through the agency of prophetical vision, the Holy Ghost of God. One may say that these observations are mere coincidence or happenstance, but if so they will have to set some type of criteria or limit on the number of these many occurrences. In other words, the data would need to be examined statistically and the details analyzed to see the connection, and although subtle these connections are nevertheless present, as you will soon observe.
    Numbers being the basis of all things in creation possess sublime and mystical virtues, for God created the universe by number, weight and measure. Number and its mathematical ratios can define all of music and these same numbers and mathematical ratios; can explain the entire universe and all phenomenon therein. This system I one of “Spiritual Perception”, coupled with the application of mystical insight and an open mind.
    Although the system includes all the 10 digits, it revolves around the numbers “23”, “2 and 3”, “1 and 9” and the number “5” which is the foundation of the entire system, the Law of Fives. The number “One” being unity the Creator, the one God and the source of all numbers. The number “Two” being division, male and female, day and night and Wisdom in Hebrew esoteric philosophy. The number “Three” being the Holy Trinity, the essence of all things, for time consist of past, present and future, male and female are made of spirit, soul and body, space is defines by height width and depth. The number “ 5 “ being the key to the entire system, is intimately related to the Pyramid, the perfect 5th in music, the five senses in man being taste, smell, touch, sight and hearing. It also has religious overtones of representing salvation or its adverse condition judgment. The number “ 9 “ having the mystical meaning of intuition, therefore rounding out the system.
    To make these numbers “speak”, all one has to do is, after examining the data given on a particular event or circumstance is permutate and align these numbers in any combination. For example you may arrive at “ 23 ”, “ 2/3 ”, “ 32 “, “ 3 + 2 “ or “ 2 + 3”, all of these equaling the number “ 5 “. Which I repeat is the key number we are trying to arrive at.
    Remember to keep an open mind and perhaps you may find your own innate keynote after your perusal of this book

    Peace be still

    THE MYSTICAL RELATIONSHIP OF THE NUMBER 23
    THE LAW OF ( 5 )
    by
    DA’ NOIZE
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Are you familiar with the mystical relationship of the number 23?. In the year 1994 which when added together equals 23, there are quite a few occurrences of this number related to world events:

    3 / 23 / 94 - Assassination of Mexican Presidential candidate
    5 / 23 / 94 - Burial of Jackie O (Kennedy)
    7 / 23 /94 - Death of Michael Jordan’s # 23 father in N.C.

    I have been observing this rather subtle phenomenon for years. I believe it has to do with the biblical prophecy of the second coming. In Egyptian esoteric numerology the 2 + 3 or 5 is the sign of the return of the Great Initiate or Messiah. In Hebrew mysticism (Kaballah), the 2 is the Wisdom and the 3 is the Understanding of The Most High. I have been able to, with the grace of The Most High, peek behind the veil and find the numbers 1 9 2 3 re-occurring in world events.

    I went through a spiritual rebirth on March 23, 1991, and from that point on I could see this sacred number 23 behind world events as well as my life. I shall offer you more....................

    In the movie PROPHECY starring Christopher Walken, it tells of a second war in Heaven as transcribed in an ancient bible in the 23rd chapter of Revelations what’s wrong with this picture.....there are only 22 chapters, or so we think..

    I grew up in a New York City housing project called Red Hook. One of the main streets is called BUSH street. BUSH street comes to an end when it intersects with CLINTON street. When Bush met Clinton for the presidency, Bush was ended. The zipcode for this area of Brooklyn is 11231. In this same NYC housing project P.S. 15 elementary school principal Patrick Daly was shot in gang crossfire between buildings 92 and 30 centre mall.

    I also grew up @ 23 Milford Street in East New York and attended the School of Visual Arts on 23rd street in Manhattan. My prior address was 246 Parkside which is 123 + 123 = 246. I also lived @ 507 Columbia street and 92 Centre Mall in Brooklyn...5 + 0 + 7 + 9 + 2 = 23. my Martial Arts instructor moves his school from New Jersey to 23rd St. in Manhattan. The Children’s Aid Society for the disabled sent me to camp as a child, they are located on 23rd St. in Manhattan....My social security # equals 5. The months of my 4 children’s birthdays are August ( 8 ), January ( 1 ), August ( 8 ), June ( 6 )..8 + 1 + 8 + 6 = 23. Oh I discovered I have another child that’s make 5.
    Now it’s 5 children…9 grandchildren……..5 + 9 = 14….or 5….or 2 +3

    Coincidence can be thrown out the window. I’ve got the proof that anyone can see, for it is a matter of public record. We are in the realm of Signs and Wonders and it is time to awaken the sleeping masses

    Is it not written that CHRIST or the MESSIAH is referred to as the stone the builders rejected? THE CHIEF CORNERSTONE. This stone refers to the The Great Pyramids 5 sided capstone, which is to come down upon mankind to complete the Pyramid. Marking the end of an age and the beginning of the Kingdom of God on earth.... The 2 + 3 or 5 is the universal constant that can be interpreted as a blessing of Grace or Judgment. We can all see that Mankind has lost its way and requires proof unconditional. Oh by the way my strongest numerical pull comes from the alignment of 1 9 2 3 in any combination.
    This collection of notes first appeared on the Internet in the Hebrew year 5756...5 + 7 + 5 + 6 = 23.
    In Hebrew esoteric philosophy there are 32 paths of Wisdom....231 gates of Understanding of THE MOST HIGH as per the Holy Kabala....The darker side of this number 23 or 5 represents in this Kabalistic philosophy judgment, severity and a wake up call as we approach the year 1999 (Egyptian 19 = death, 99 = culmination) hence the culmination of death, the new millennium. The Holy Prophet Muhammad for 23 years received and taught the wisdom of THE MOST HIGH, the making of the Holy Koran...Jesus said where 2 or 3 are gathered in my name, I am in the midst of them.

    Since the Earth spends on a 23 degree angle, cosmic activity such as Hyatauke and Hale-Bopp
    will have a profound effect on us here..Did you know that the comet Hale-Bopp was discovered on July 23, 1995 and that it’s closest approach was on March 23, 1997......? Those of the Heavens
    Gate Cult must have felt it, hence 39 died..3 + 9 = 12...1 2 3 9. Did you know that the summer solstice of 2623 coincides with the building of the Great Pyramid under King Knufu...Did you know that prophet Edgar Cayce wrote about the change in the Earth’s position in his Pyramid prophecies in 1932 ..or that in 1932 archaeologist un-earth a zodiac temple in Jerusalem.

    Hip Hop rapper Tupac Shakur at the age of 23 was shot 5 (2 + 3) times in the lobby of a recording studio @ 723 7th Ave in NYC. His alleged sexual assault drama began in a NYC night club called Knells @ 246 W 14th St. (246 = 123 +123) just like my prior address (I lived with my Aunt Nell @ 23 Milford St.)....There was a major earthquake in Tokyo in 1923....Time magazine begins publishing in 1923 (I worked there for 10 years (2 + 3 + 2 + 3)...Colin Ferguson guns down 23 or LIRR...O.J.

Howard Cossell dies 4 / 23 /95..On May 23, 1994 ( 1 + 9 + 9 + 4 = 23 ) 800 people killed in ritual stampede in Mecca. U.S. Secretary Ron Brown killed in plane crash..the plane was 23 years old and the plane hit a 2,300 ft mountain...TWA 800 airline disaster 230 people killed...NAFTRA approved by 233 votes...At the re-release of the Star Wars trilogy it had already grossed 323 million...NY real estate mogul indicted on 123 count tax fraud count...

I believe someone is trying to tell us something.

    You're all a bunch of phukkin' retards with no lives who look for any kind of pattern
    when numbers are involved! Let me clarify your stupidities here.
    23 as a number is about as mysterious and intriguing as the toast I had for
    breakfast this morning. Obviously no one has ever heard of the placebo effect
    before. When someone tells you that 23 is the solution to every number pattern
    in existence, the first thing you're gonna do is look for ways to get 23 out any set of numbers you see, no matter how absurd and bizarre your methods are! For example, look at these numbers below:

    5 13 4 6





    Now what's the first thing you'd do? You'd try to prove your dumbass "23 enigma"
    theory right! I bet you'd do something close to this:

    4+6=10, 10+13=23! (Oh my god!) Wait there's more!
    5=2+3 (Big phukking whoop!)

    You might be thinking to yourself, "See, I'm right Charlie and you're wrong!"
    But you obviously made those additions based on the fact that you were looking for a 23! Now if you were looking for, say a 9, you'd obviously try to add the numbers a different way! See, you can get 23 out of anything! But you can also get a 7, or an 18, or a 30, or a 67...! Understand what I'm saying? You train your own mind to look for the fucking number 23, not even caring that you can get about 500 other numbers with a little creativity!

    My point is, 23 is a number, and that's that. No, it's not haunted, it's not possessed. Nobody's going to come to your house on your 23rd birthday at 5:23 in the morning holding 23 butcher knives with 23 blood stains on his jacket, breaking all 23 doors in your house, and shattering a window into 23 fucking pieces!
    23 is just like the number 1076, there are no special qualities to it! I'd bet if you did your fucking research, you'd see that 176 occurs just as many times in history, if not more so, than 23! But are you going to go on a "1076" tirade preaching about how the number foreshadows evil? I hope not, for your own sake...:D And for the record, the movie itself called "The Number 23" got a 9% fresh rating on rottentomatoes.com. That is embarrassing! Just goes to show how no one fucking cares about the damn number, except for you people!

    By the way, when I mentioned 1076, you were probably thinking, "10+7+6=23!" That's when I say, "GET A PHUKKING LIFE YOU LOSER!"
  • jessica parker
    i believe there is something not right about the number 23 but no one believes me.all these things are just so real and they have to do wiht 23.there is just something not right with the number 23.do u agree?.....
  • jessica parker
    O AND FUCK YOU CHARLIE!! ^^^^
  • Tax
    Well..Here is my scoop.
    We went to see "The number 23" Today..eh heh
    We arrived at "7:23" to the movie theatre..made me wonder a little
    We bought tickets and popcorn, as i sat down i looked at my watch "7:32" and 23 seconds" already i was tripped out pretty much..but i'm not one to beleive shit like this im, with the guy above talkin about "if you look around you can find any number" well yea that's true, if i wanted to find 9 i could go into history and find thousands of things that added up to it. make a movie. freak people out.
    That isnt all thoe..it gets a little crazier
    My birthday is 3/31/88 yea..23
    I Saw this with my girlfriend.
    Toni G Arce - Jonny D Townsend
    4 +1+ 4 =9 5 +1+ 8 =14 9+14=23
    the biggest scare of the night however..was when i got to my house.
    i turn on the tv. and it says "Volume: 23" at the top in big red letter.

    This whole night has kind of made me look at things in a different way. And after reading this entire page of comments i beleive there is **Possibly** more out there than can be explained by logic or science.

    one last thought. The movie was good, worth seeing if your even the slightest bit curious, you won't be let down. Thoe there were quite a few contridictions and things that really didnt make sense it was nice.

    *JIM CAREY IS AS GOOD AT DRAMA AS HE IS AT COMEDY*
    Screw the 23 theory, see this movie because it is the
    king of comedy actin serious for once in..history

    I Saw this with my girlfriend.
    Toni G Arce - Jonny D Townsend
    4 +1+ 4 =9 5 +1+ 8 =14 9+14=23
  • Theadore
    Dude Charlie yur a window licker!!!!! The number 23 is a conspiracy!!
  • Kelaniz
    The Mayans did NOT believe the world would end on 12 23 2012 (or 12/4/2012 or 12/12/2012) IIRC, that's just as far as they actually wrote it. The Mayan calendar system was kinda like Roman numerals, and would go to (I believe) 12/4 on the year 1300000 before running out.
