Once you start looking for them, they're all around you and if you're not careful you can start to sound like a crazy person when you talk about them. I know this from experience. I don't know how compelling the Kim Carrey movie will be, as I don't know what kind of plot you can get from coincidence. By the way, thanks for being my unofficial publicist. 23 synchronicities can be dangerous.

Yes, none of us have seen it, but I think we both get the picture of what it is about. The number 23 has had a strange roll in my life for the past year or so...it's the "C-130 number." When I first got to our C-130 school-house in Arkansas, the instructors would always joke that if any other instructor asks you a question and you don't know the answer just say "23." The number 23 appears so frequently, and for no apparent reason...it actually kind of made us wonder if someone did it for a reason. This started a year ago, well before we new about this movie. Let me give you a little taste: 1. The US Air Force recieved it's first C-130 on August 23, 1954. 2. There are exactly 23 windows in the cockpit. 3. There are a standard 23 First Aid kits onboard. 4. The C-130H (the model I fly) has a maximum cieling of 23,000 ft with a payload. 5.In a full (36 Aircraft), standard spacing formation, we span exactly 23 nautical miles. (Some technical stuff that won't make sense to you) 6. The propbrake assembly dissengages at 23%, and 7. We hit the low pitch stop at 23 degrees. OHHH, and there is much much more. We are only scratching the surface. I will get back to you on some more sometime. I just thought I would pass this on to someone that might appreciate it.
