"The Numbers"
This could be way off base (no pun intended) but I was listening to Howard this morning and some dude called in and said the numbers are all retired numbers from the Yankees with the exception of 42 which has been retired from all teams. I don't know from baseball so I can't really comment but maybe someone can.

I have my own theory about 42. Wasn't that the answer to the Universe?

http://newyork.yankees.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/nyy/history/retired_numbers.jsp

The yankees have retired 16 different numbers. 4-8-15-16-23-42 represent players from all different eras and positions, I can see no common theme.

Thank you. This makes way more sense than the Lost plot. The show is driving me mad.

4. "RE: The Numbers"
Here is a bit from Lost's Damon Lindelof regarding the numbers:

From Luv: How did you come up with the specific numbers for Hurley?
Damon: Well, that is a big secret, and we are not going to reveal it. I think there is a lot of interest in what the numbers mean and how we came up with them. But what's amazing to me is that we think we're being very clever and hiding those numbers all over the show, prior to the "Numbers" episode, and already I know there are Web pages that have gone up that bust us on every single one that we've ever hid, and they find ones that we didn't even intentionally hide, ones that are in sort of the production design of the show. The only number was always sort of a key number was 23, and anybody who knows anything about Robert Anton Wilson or any of his writing can read into that what they will. That's an important number in terms of the scheme of the show.

You can find the entire chat transcript here:

Anyone know anything about Robert Anton Wilson?

And here's a linky-do to an article:
http://www.maybelogic.com/gt.html
His philosophies revolve around his belief, steeped in quantum theory, that there is no reality, only perception. He theorizes that because we each view the world through our unique perspective, or reality tunnels, no single truth exists.

6. "RE: Googled"
Should I be concerned that my wedding anniversary is July 23 (referenced in that link)? Or should we all be concerned that this show could be the figment of one person's "reality tunnel"?

Here's Wikipedia's info on Wilson: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Anton_Wilson. I still don't really get it.

7. "RE: Googled"
Reading his biography has now casued him to exist in two seperate realities in my mind. In one reality Robert Anton Wilson is powerfully interesting, in the other reality Robert Anton Wilson is profoundly prosaic. I dare not try to merge the two realities for fear he will desintegrate upon meeting himself. ...oops

8. "The number 23"
LAST EDITED ON 10-02-05 AT 07:43 PM (EST)

Since Lindelof says 23 is very important ....

http://afgen.com/numbr23b.html

http://afgen.com/num23.html

http://home.free.de/joern/23.html

This last link is one person's account of the frequency of number 23 popping up in his life .....

Eventually I read about the Illuminati in books by Robert Anton Wilson and its 23 connections, and how 23 was a discodian/Chaos number.

http://www.eskimo.com/~icebrkr/23.html

I started thinking about it, and just off the top of my head, the first two digits of my house number is 23, the last two digits of my phone number is 23, and the last two digits of my visa card is 23. *shiver*

edited to add:

*cue Twilight Zone music*

When I lived in Tampa the last two digits of my phone number was also 23.

I was born in 1958 and 1 + 9 + 5 + 8 = 23

I'm starting to get freaked out, people.
