'23'

OK... so we go see Smokin' Aces the other night (which we thoroughly enjoyed) and I see the trailer for '23' for the first time... the new Jim Carrey flick, and it looks pretty damn sweet:

Now... that appears to be the exact same trailer I saw in the theater, and this is not mentioned in it... but it got me thinking. 9/11 ... 9/11, 2001 ... 9+11+2+0+0+1 = 23!!! (granted, if you do it 9+1+1... or 9+11+2001, it doesn't work out the same)... but still!

Just plain FREAKY man!! LOL

Ok, If I take the year of my birth, multiple this by the ratio of my waist size over my inseam, then add the number of years I have been married and then subtract the combined age of my two children it equals.... Wait, isn't it supposed to be 23? Can someone explain what I am doing wrong?

Just to clarify...

Nov. 1, 1994 - Bulls retire Jordan's No. 23

March 19, 1995 - Jordan returns wearing number 45, the same number he wore for the Barons and as a basketball player in junior high school.

The Bulls advanced to the Eastern Conference Semi-finals against the Orlando Magic that season, and Jordan averaged 31.5 points per game in the series, but Orlando prevailed in six games. After Orlando's Nick Anderson declared after the first game of the series that "He didn't look like the old Michael Jordan.", an extra-motivated Jordan began wearing his old number (23) again.

While Carl remembers our anniversary day date because 2+3=5, I remember it because it's MJ's #.
