Two days ago, I found out about a movie called "The Number 23". It's a movie about the 23 Enigma, the belief that everything adds up to, in some way, the number 23.

Now, this being Four Island, it's quite obvious that I wouldn't believe such a thing. I'm more likely to believe that everything is four, and let's face it, it's true.

But, I can be very paranoid. FACT: I took the battery and SIM card out of my phone before watching the trailer for The Ring. So, being paranoid as usual, I decided to add up the time of my birth. 4:06 PM. (Yes, I know, I was born at FOUR o'clock, and I'm very proud of that fact) Obviously, 4 and 6 doesn't equal 23. But.... this is 12-hour time. What about 24 hour time?

16:06

Added together, 22.

Ok, it may not be 23, but think. You may recognize that number from elsewhere on Four Island. Yes, April 22nd is Trider's CIEday, and Four Island was created on September 22nd.

Coincidence? Yes, I think so. But still, the senseless paranoia is fun. And as an added 23-tidbit, look at the post I linked to earlier in this post about everything being Four. It may be Four-centered, but look at the publish date. That's right, January 23rd.

EDIT: After closely examining the Everything is Four post, I realized another snippet of apophenia. The time that the post was published. The digits add up to 22.
