People have spent a considerable amount of time coming up with this stuff though, I will definitely give them that. This is the top result on Google for 'meaning of 23': http://www.free.de/homes/joern/23.html Jordan and Beckham do present a strong case as well. :) Aso, it was the 23rd anniversary of the release of Shari Vari last year, and 2004 was a very good year for techno. Umm... I think I just convinced myself! :) I suppose I should read more Alister Crowley before I completely poop on this stuff though. I could be missing out on untold power. It's kind of like John Stuart Mill's argument for Christianity. Ascent to the religion that offers the greatest reward, b/c if it happens to be right, you're minted.
