Day 728 (Tidbits)

And... we're at the twenty third day of the month and 23 Enigma content for the Day 728 entry on THE 800 DAYS blog.

Mixed in are some tidbits on timing and calendar/countdowns of two separate cultures whose timing devices match up in different eras - the Mayans and the Romans... Interesting - but let Blake explain it for you over on THE 800 DAYS blog.

In the spirit of things related to 23, Blake has presented a few versions of Psalm 23, an extremely well known and oft-cited bit of Christian text...

And then (LOL) Mr. Hall quotes YOURS TRULY... and to tell you the truth (again), I am still quite perplexed by this 23 Enigma!



The Day 728 entry on The 800 Days blog is associated with 23 Enigma and the 23rd Day of December, 2010. Thursday, December 23 2010.

Day 758 (Tidbits)

Blake brings readers some tidbits on "The Arts" for the Day 758 post on the 800 DAYS! Now since I am not very familiar with the particular individuals Blake writes about for this post, I'm just going to send you over and say, in no uncertain terms, "Read What Blake Has To Say on William S. Burroughs!"

Article: Ah Pook Is Here by William S. Burroughs...The Lost Graphic Novel by a Master of Modern Literature.

What I DO "GET" about Burroughs is that he is reportedly the first or at least one of the first to take the topic of "23 Enigma" seriously - and "way out there." We've already viewed a post from the 800 Days blog about 23 Enigma, found here: (Day 789, Follower blog) and here: (Day 789, THE 800 Days, Blake's blog). Also, a prominent actor, Jim Carrey (as Walter Sparrow), was in a film made in 2007 called "The Number 23" that was all about the topic of 23 Enigma.

I watched the film with Carrey in it - just a few minutes ago... and will review the film (it's WORTH SEEING) in an upcoming blog post once I've caught up a little bit with Blake's posts on The 800 Days blog.

After just a little digging on Burroughs, I found that details in his biography are less than shining and that Burroughs lived a questionable lifestyle, suffered from addictions and all sorts of mayhem in his life - however - one thing that seems close to unanimous is that he put out some worthy works, even if many of these were controversial and, in his time, harshly criticized...

One little tidbit I found that was interesting is that Burroughs is on the Sgt. Pepper's (Beatles) Album cover:

Burroughs is in the 2nd row (start at the top) between a likeness of Marilyn Monroe (actress) and Sri Mahavatar Babaji (Hindu guru). To look at a larger and interactive image with better resolution than I am able to get here, please see link below:

Day 789 (Tidbits)

Get ready for some interesting reading from The 800 Days blog just 789 days before Dec 21 2012. If you like numbers and puzzles, you're going to love the article "23 Enigma," and you'll probably think up some "23-related" things to add to the 23 Enigma list of things associated with the number twenty-three.



To tell you the truth, 23 Enigma has me quite perplexed... I keep flip-flopping in my perception that 23 Enigma has some valid theories that say the number 23 connects everything around us in at least some small way... versus a cautionary bit of thinking that 23 Enigma might simply be a bunch of explanations linked together with even more confirmation bias data.

Regardless...

All the associations and links between things containing the number 23 are at least - INTERESTING and well worth thinking about...



Day 789 in the countdown is Saturday, October 23, 2010.
