This is something my sweety blogged about a while ago, and since this comes up here from time to time, decided to share it.

very interesting.

Yes, yes, interesting, but how's this going to help me get laid? I want to get laid.

Yes, yes, interesting, but how's this going to help me get laid? I want to get laid.

Go to a club with 23 in the address and line 5 drinks up on the bar. You'll offer these drinks to any woman who shows interest, the fifth girl you speak to will be the one who accepts. You will leave with this fifth girl from the club at 23:23hrs. Your relationship will last five weeks, in which time you will sleep with her 23 times.

That's the good part.

The Universe, being the stickler for balance that it is, will see to it that all things equal out. This girl whom you've slept with by manipulating the rules of 23 and 5, will rob you before she leaves you. She'll steal $2,300 from you, it'll take her 5 hours to spend in which time she'll purchase 23 items. On the fifth day after the break-up you'll start to get a green discharge from your penis and a burning sensation when you urinate. Your doctor will take exactly 23 seconds to conclude you've contracted gonorrhea, at which point the Universal balance will be restored.

You've been warned.

Yes, yes, interesting, but how's this going to help me get laid? I want to get laid.

The universe--God if you will--gives us what we choose. Say you tell the universe that you desire a job, one will come up. However, when you tell the universe that you "want" something--that you exist in a state of non-having--you push it away from you.

In other words, you are saying "I want to get laid." The reply from the universe is "Fine--go ahead and keep wanting."

(Yeah, and I liked Slave's answer better, too.)

woah she corresponded with Robert Anton Wilson! This just makes you, and her even cooler. The law of twenty three is great, but thanks to that horrible Jim Carey movie you cant even talk about it without that movie being brought into the conversation. This is why totse is great, because so far no one has referenced that horrible horrible movie.

All the numerical coincedences are astounding. Great thread armsmerchant

I was born on the 23rd and my name is 5 letters.

woah she corresponded with Robert Anton Wilson!

That's nuthin'--in the sixties, she rode with the Hells Angels, hung with the Merry Pranksters, and shot speed with Ken Kesey. Was a guest at his daughter's wedding, too.

blahahahaha

Sounds like someone shelled out the $20 bucks for a copy of the secret.

Close but no cigar. I did check out a copy from the library, but got totally bogged down in the BS after a few chapters.

One thing that pisses me off is that it isn't a secret, fer crissake.

You know why it will be green? Because it has 5 letters in it, and as stated, the universe demands balance, you horny bastard.

That was quite the interesting read, by the way.

Crazy stuff, makes you think how everything is interconnected from a cosmic and galactic level all the way to an atom.

Lets put this out of its misery, quickly.

Learn some math, and you'll learn that there are different number systems, based on what you use the "base" as. We like to use base 10, mostly because we have 10 fingers. But, you can use base 2 (binary), base 8 (octal), base 16 (hexadecimal), or any other number for example.

So, 5 in binary is 101. 23 in binary is 10111. See any correlation between those? No, because there isn't anything special about those numbers. Yes, you'll find cute patterns in every number system. No, they don't mean anything. Stop raping math. Some of us enjoy it for its inherent beauty.

Here, this one will blow your mind:

142857
x 2 = 285714
x 3 = 428571
x 4 = 571428
x 5 = 714285
x 6 = 857142
x 7 = 999999.

Whoa, man. Whoa.

Crazy stuff, makes you think how everything is interconnected from a cosmic and galactic level all the way to an atom.

John Muir made a great statement along the above lines, when he said that if you try to look at anything by itself, you will see that it is hitched to everything else in the universe.

What is the correlation between 1.618 and 3.141?

I don't get what you're saying. You're talking about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio and pi, I assume? Yes, they're found in many places. What's your point?

Your argument that there is nothing special about 5 and 23, rests on the assumption that the 'specialness' of two numbers is dependent on the correlations between them. The fact that you recognize Pi and the Golden Ratio indicates that these are numbers of mathematical significance, special numbers, so special in fact that they have their own names to specify those exact numbers.

So what I'm asking you is this:

Assuming your correlation argument is valid, there should exist a correlation between Pi and the golden ratio. What is that correlation, and why does it validate Pi and the Golden ratio as special numbers?

The golden RATIO and Pi are already correlations (ratios) between two things. But even they're not insanely special, they're still just a couple of commonly found ratios.

Don't be obtuse, I quite clearly asked about their relation to each other.

Spare me the semantics.

You guys don't actually believe this, do you.

Who cares, I just enjoy being argumentative.

wow, that sounds like a whole lot of nonsense. :confused:

Spare me the semantics.

Um, I'm not being obtuse. I don't think/know if there are any ways they are related to each other. They're both just two very useful ratios, which is, by definition, the relation between two other numbers.

You can't win this argument, I'm just saying that choosing two numbers as "special" or "magical" numbers is completely arbitrary and therefore bunk.

Yep, that Pythagoras was SO full of it. . . . .

Wow, this is just... retarded.

If you are looking for a conspiracy you are going to find it, or rather, create it.

Ok here's mine. Things with wings. Birds have wings right? Well, birds fly. Things with wings can usually fly. We created planes which have WINGS. A PLANE with WINGS FLEW into the World Trade Center!!!1!!1

Aliens must have created birds and put them on the planet long ago, knowing that we'd want to build crafts to emulate their awesome flying and that it would eventually be used against ourselves.

By the way these were Jew-Aliens as by the ancient occult Hebraic science of Gematria "Wing" reduces to the number "2" which are how many wings birds and planes have!

Also, if you don't believe me you are wrong.



Now, add years and years to think up more bullshit and imagine how believable this "Wing Theory" would become.

E is the fifth letter of the alphabet, and also the most commonly used in the English language. W is the 23rd letter of the alphabet. Half of W is V, which is the roman numeral for 5. Once again, therefore, the inherent connection between 5 and 23 is proven.

Oh wow.
