The 23 Enigma:
(the belief that all incidents and events are directly connected to the number 23, some permutation of the number 23, or a number related to the number 23, given enough ingenuity on the part of the interpreter)

1) Julius Caeser was stabbed 23 times
2) The Mayans predict the end of the world is in 2012, 20+1+2 = 23
3) A normal human sex cells have 23 chromosones, other cells have 46 chromosones, a multiple of 23
4) The letter "W" is the 23rd letter of the alphabet, which also has 3 points up and 2 points down
5) 23 is compromised of the first two prime numbers: 2 and 3. Add them together and you get the next prime number: 5
6) The book of Revelations (Apocalypse) ends with Chapter 22
7) John 3:16, the most famous Bible verse. 3+16+4 (four letters in the word JOHN) = 23
8) 23 is the TCIP/IP port used for telnet and is the default for telnet command
9) Bao Zheng (JUSTICE BAO) was the 23rd successful scholar of the Imperial Examination
10) The 23rd President of the United States, Benjamin Harris, is the first president to date who is from the state of Indiana. His presidential administration is best known for its economic legislation, including the McKinley Tariff and the Sherman Antitrust Act, and for annual federal spending that reached one billion dollars for the first time
11) Mas Selamat was born on 23rd January 1961, Osama was born on 10th March 1957 1+0+1+9+5+7 = 23

So what's the big fuss over the number 23?

Last point, but not the least:

12) 2/3 = 0.666
