the NO 23................'facts' about the number
In fact, the number 23 does appear to crop up in a surprising number of places. Many people say the number 23 occurs in significant places in their own lives - and in the natural world.
For instance, human gametes (ova and sperm) each contain 23 chromosomes, which pair up to make the DNA for a new person.
Darkly, the American phrase 23 skidoo derives from Charles Dickens' novel A Tale of Two Cities, in which unfortunate hero Sydney Carlton's head is the 23rd that day to be snicked off into the guillotine basket.
in telegraphers' code, 23 means "break the line". And, even more sinisterly, if you divide two by three you get roughly 0.666.
so is it a special number??...............who knows??
my 'special' number is 22............close enough..........lol
