I wrote recently about my "23-59" theory in the context of it was created because my jersey number of the USNA basketball team, which I do not actually remember anything about, was 23.
But if my jersey number was 23, assuming I ever was at the U.S. Naval Academy, it is because of my March 3rd birthday. The number "23" was chosen because it represents two 3's.
I just found something disturbing and I can't believe I am just now seeing this. I have probably looked at this several times and I just now got it.
The invasion of Iraq occurred on March 20, 2003. The date difference of 3/3/2003 and 3/20/2003 is 17 days. The period 17 days is also expressed as 2 weeks, 3 days, which is a form of "23."
The date of Bush's "Mission Accomplished" speech was on 5/1/2003. There is that photo of him I referred to where he is walking next to a U.S. Navy officer named Ryan Philips before he boarded an S-3 Viking aircraft, where the Viking is a relevant detail as well. Anyway, the date difference of 3/3/2003 and 5/1/2003 is 59 days.
