not much of first post, it said nothing.
a hexagram is six-sided. twenty-three sided would be a dodecahedron or something, wouldn't it?

and sorry its not to break apart its to split apart... most interesting thing about the 23 enigma is that disaster usually follows the synchronism.

I have a copy of the I Ching. It's very hard to learn how to interpret things from it, harder than divining the future from the tarot even. It's basically the equivalent of tossing a coin a hundred or so times and recording the patterns while asking certain questions, then through strenuous memorization, associating each number with an answer of some sort.
Cosmic Trigger is a must read btw, it's a constant delivery of out of this world thought and information, combined and intertwined with a great personal storyline. (I cried near the end, if you read it you'll know why, hint: Luna).

oh, well I didn't know what the hell he meant by "i ching," so that explains it
To break apart, to split, to separate..
..right in two, right?

Eh *shrug* I sure don't care
Does the fact that 23 is a prime number have anything to do with it?

23 go missing in Russian fire (http://www.chinadaily.net/world/2009-02/01/content_7434384.htm)
There are 23 eggs with celery (http://www.chinadaily.net/world/2009-02/01/content_7434384.htm)
Pandas (Most deceptive bears) have their own TV channel which is 23--coincidence? (http://www.pandatv23.org/)
There is too much pointing to 23 synchronicity.

I'm new so I would imagine this has probably already been said and discussed in the last three years, but is 23 not the half of MJ's self that came from JM?

I don't have any idea of what you are referring to. And I don't see how 23 would be a personification... do you happen to know where you read that, or got the idea from?

Elaboration- 23 = 46 divided by 2. 46 = human chromosomes. Sperm cell has 23 chromosomes. Ovum has 23 chromosomes. 10000 days is about JM, Judith Marie, MJ, Maynard James's Mother. I thought by 23, he was referring to the part of himself that came from his mother.

Sounds plausible to me.

It was interesting but I also felt very strongly that it was one of those reaalllly far-fetched completely over-analyzed ideas.

Oh definitely far-fetched, but it's interesting. And I haven't read anything interesting around these parts for a while, so it was a plus.

I am happy to be too far fetched and overanalyzed. That's DIRECT and not vague and I'm totally cool with that. I am not happy to be YOURNAMEHERE. These mad lib variables are lost on me. Help me out here. Can I amend WHATWASDONE to make it not a bad idea anymore? (what was done?)

It was nothing, your post was fine. Continue on sharing your thoughts and insights on the songs, I'd rather enjoy to hear your perspective of other Tool songs.

Well it's actually strangely fitting. I DID go out of my way to submit my sequential art portfolio to Marvel Comics editors to review. And it did indeed end up being a VERY bad idea to include sexually explicit pin-ups of Trademarked characters. Specifically Spider-Woman, Firestar, and Harley Quinn. I am just wondering how they knew about that.
It earned me the nickname "Triple H" (Harley's Hoo Ha)
Strangely enough, the pages in the portfolio that the editors had a problem with were the **2nd to last page & the ***3rd to last page, in that order. (so there's a 23 here as well)

Haha, though I heard workin in Marvel Comics is like slavery :)
I like all number things and spotting 23 is kinda fun. Not that it would have any deeper meaning but - just entertaining.
I liked your idea about the 23 cells.
Actually the template for inner was not that much of a joke. Some call it The Hamburger method http://n8tip.com/the-hamburger-method-of-constructive-criticism-works-for-vegetarians-too .

i started to think about your username and the mystery behind it. I knew there was something familiar with it, yes.. b, a.. sounds very hexadecimal to me. And of course the notation h at the end... But why not at the beginning?
Unless the word is backwards!
So hABOOB makes sense, and when you remove the hexadecimal marker h, you get ABOOB. AB OOB? ABO OB? A B OOB? I know there is some word in this but my scientific calculations have not yet finished.. But i know i am close.

keep at it. You ARE getting close! (hint: try superimposing, typing with different fonts, different point sizing, spacing, kerning, etc.)
