I would usually never reply to a post from "The Mighty One" but I have been thinking about this on & off for a few weeks now & had intended to start a thread about it.
That whole 216 thing, I can relate, let me explain:
When I was younger my smoking buddies (Im clean now) & I for some reason developed an attatchment to the number 49. There was about 9 of us & the number 49 kept popping up everywhere. On a daily basis one of us would have a story about how they came across the number going about thier daily lives. It was incredible, it was everywhere & we all cracked up laughing whenever we saw the number.
My brother for a few years had an obsession with the number 106, same thing happend to him. 106's everywhere! It became a running joke with him too.
Im a little sketchy about this one but during the 1960/70's there was some LSD guru who did the same thing with the number 23, this guy was pretty famous & loads of people were involved in his 23 thing. In an interview someone said to him that he was fooling people into thinking there was some sort of significance to the number 23 by simply bringing thier attention to the Number 23, as a result people started seeing it everywhere. This guy agreed with him, he had simply "pricked" peoples attention to rummage out occurrances of the digits 2 & 3 together & attatched a meaning to it.
What im trying to say is that perception is reletave. Its a highly personal thing & your brain & mine work in different ways making connectoin after connection every split second.
Youre different, just like everybody else.
ARTelevision: You are one smart guy, I get the impression from alot of your posts that you've got it together in the head department. Much respect.
