To quote an ex-Canadian (Jim Carey):
I've [been fixated on] the number 23 for years. It's everywhere. Each parent passes on 23 chromosomes; Earth's axis is at a 23° angle. Psalm 23 is my mantra...
Now he's in a movie called The Number 23 (it's plot sounds almost like Darren Aronofsky's Pi). Here is something else that I read this week in Time Magazine about the movie:
Life has been known to imitate art, as it did on the set of the psychological thriller The Number 23. JIM CARREY plays a man who sees No. 23 everywhere after he starts reading a murder mystery with a plot alarmingly parallel to his life. Twenty-three has a real-world following for its supposedly mystical way of popping up. During the shoot, cast and crew noticed the number in odd places, like the address of a sushi restaurant that catered the crew's dinner. "I thought, This is my 20th feature--too bad it's not 23," says director Joel Schumacher. "Then as I was shaving one morning, I thought, Wait, you also directed three television movies." Chilling. The film opens in February. On the 23rd, natch.
So it's no surprize that this week is the 23rd edition of Map that Campus, and since we're on the subject of numbers lets do a numerology one:
hint: Greater than (a), as (a) => infinity?
If you can tell me where, who and most importantly what the answer to the hint is, leave a message in the comment section.

23? What about 42? That is a real important number. We will have to wait 19 more posts.
Feinberg Pavilion is labeled 23 on maps of Northwestern University's Chicago campus.
More to ponder ...
Are there different types of infinity?
(a) = (a)x(a) when (a)=>infinity?
(a)x(a) = 2^(a) when (a)=>infinity?
Sure there are lots of 23s around.
As everyone who has read Illuminatus! knows, it's a corollary of the Law of Fives.

Georg Cantor did his work on transfinite numbers at University of Halle, now the Martin-Luther University of Halle-Wittenberg, in Halle, Saxony-Anhlt, Germany.
Sorry, that should be Saxony-Anhalt.
23 Skidoo and WSU
If you've seen one infinity, you've seen them all.
Correct.
And Mustafa wins the most creative 23 reference. Time for me to skidoo.
