The Number 23 - coincidence?
The world spins on an axis of 23 degrees.
Caesar was stabbed 23 times.
Kurt Cobain was born in 1967 and died in 1994. 1+9+6+7=23 and 1+9+9+4=23.
The invasion of Iraq began on 3/20, 2003 at 2:30
The date 9/11/2001...9+11+2+1=23
2 divided by 3 =.666…
The Hiroshima bomb was dropped at 4:19. 4+19=23
Director Joel Schumacher is responsible for at least 23 shitty movies.

vice precedent
ESPN is always broadcasting the World Series of Poker. And I'm sorry, but poker is NOT a sport. Poker is gambling, and gambling is a vice. What vice centered event is the next big thing? E-quipped Productions is working on some ideas to pitch to ESPN:
The Superbowl of Chain Smoking
World Cup of Booze
Prostituition 500
US Open Relationship
Recreational Drug Derby (the White Pony always wins, by a nose)

Carlos "Menstealia"
"Comedian" Carlos Mencia has long been labled as a joke thief. I think he's been lifting the wrong bits because his act has never been funny to me. Carlos is so Mexican that he's too lazy to steal good jokes.
At any rate, comedian Joe Rogan finally confronted Mencia this week at the Comedy Store on the Sunset Strip. As expected, someone in the crowd caught the footage, and even edited a 5 minute video completely exposing Carlos "Menstealia".
