there is some-thing special about the number one.
The number one and all numbers before it and beyond it are special, it occurs at frequent intervals e.g. 11, 21,61,100 etc.
It is known to be the name of the soul because I am means me the number one person.
It is a winning number e.g. first in a race.
For over 1000 yrs it was in the date for example 1760, 1850,1999 etc.
It is 3 times in Sept 11 2001.
I am NOT serious. I am writing BS.
It is a case of Apophenia. that is a medical disease where pyschotic and religious (same thing really) people see links between numbers.
Question - why are so many people falling for these silly numbers things common in T.V.; films, books etc.

I don't think anyone fell for "23" - it was spotted as a phony ad campaign hyping a movie from the very beginning.
Yours about #1 is funnier. Maybe they can make a movie about it.

People try to make sense of their world. If they can look at an event, or something such as numbers; and relate them to as many things as possible; then they will think their world makes sense. For example if I came up with a theory that blue is mystical. The sky is blue; the ocean is blue; the Hindu Gods Vishnu and Shiva are blue; and if I could connect this to as many blue things as possible; then these parts would make sence. Or maybe people try to see events as out of their control, so they can blame some outside force on their life ("I couldn't help it the number 23 was everywhere! It was controling my thoughts and actions!"). Oh, and I don't believe religious people are the same as psychotic people.

People long for the meaning of life. Lots of the people are the kind that buy the magazines in grocery stores that say "Bat man found" or "dinosaur sounded like 54 Chevy." They are the kind that believe anything that has an explaination along with it.

philosophers/nostradamus-types have been doin that kind of numerical theory for years especially with 3 and 6. i guess theyre just working their way up. i find it no more scientific than the six degrees of kevin bacon. or is that contolled by a higher power as well......

life is pointless, so people want to put something in there with purpose, like when people have conspiracy theories, they want to "know something" no one else knows and be in on something big. just humans
