About Me

What is behind Door 23? The human genome contains 23 pairs of chromosomes. It is believed that the verses of the Qur'an were revealed over a period of 23 years. December 23, 2012 is the date on which the Mayan calendar ends, predicting an apocalyptic event. Pi's first six digits (3.14159) added together equal 23. The Beatles "Her Majesty" is 23 seconds long. What does this all mean? That someone has entirely too much free time...
