It is a story about a captain Clark bragging that he never had any incident for 23 years but then the very same day he has an accident that kills everyone on the ship. Then later on the same day a Flight 23 piloted by another captain Clark crashes and kills everyone in it as well.

Can somebody find any evidence that this story happened?
I have tried finding any evidence of these stories, but I have come up empty.

Could someone brag about living twenty three years or just doing something for twenty three years and then die because of the enigma?

Is the enigma deadly
Would somethinghappen and or would someone die if they made a fictional character the age of twenty three years old?

Could someone verify if either of these things happened at all?
I did find an article / blog post debunking the air plane part of the story, but I cannot seem to find it anymore.

I see the number twenty three for a bit after I look this up. I will see it when look at what time it and or watching a show and pausing it.
Or collecting twenty three of something in a video game.

Is it coincidence? Something to do with my brain / mind?


Sometimes when I think about the number I'll see that time on the clock or somewhere else randomly. What expansion is there for this? It happened just now in factly.


How does one forget about this / stop thinking about this permanently forever?
How does one protect oneself?

Will / does / would something happen at all by making something bad happen to fictional character(s) that either already are or just turned twenty three years old?
What about having the fictional character(s) dying will / does / would something happen at all?

Will / does / would something happen for making fictional character(s) twenty three years old?

Wills / does / would anything at all happen for making a new fictional character(s) on the twenty third of a month, including if they so happen to be twenty three years old or not? What about having new ideas on for fictional story(ies)and using them at all and or / later after the twenty third?

Huh? I do not understand. I just want answers to my questions. Please.

Now you have me worried. My birthday is the 23rd of next month and perhaps me and anybody who responds to this thread might drop dead two days before Christmas.

More seriously I think that if there was no such thing as a coincidence the word "coincidence" would not exist.

BTW Although the odds against it are huge the possibility that I and anyone who responds to this thread will die on my birthday does exist

“The frequency illusion (also known as the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon) is a cognitive bias in which a person notices a specific concept, word, or product more frequently after recently becoming aware of it”

As for the rest, it’s why anecdotes are not evidence. Without a systematic study, you can’t say that these coincidences happen more than others. They’ve just been cherry-picked.

I blame Jim Carrey.

And my condolences to anyone who watched the US series "Lost" and wandered into a morass of 108.
