The 23 enigma
In Tangier in 1960, the beat writer William Burroughs met a sea captain called Captain Clark, who boasted to him that he had never had an accident in 23 years; later that day Clark's boat sank, killing him and everyone on board.
Burroughs was reflecting on this, that same evening, when he heard a radio report about a plane crash in Florida: the pilot was another Captain Clark and the plane was Flight 23. From then on Burroughs began noting down incidences of the number 23, and wrote a short story, 23 Skidoo.
Burroughs's friends Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea adopted the "23 Enigma" as a guiding principle in their conspiratorial Illuminatus! trilogy.

DNA sequencer raises doctors' hopes for personalized medicine
Among the many stents, surgical clamps, pumps and other medical devices that have recently come before the Food and Drug Administration for clearance, none has excited the widespread hopes of physicians and researchers like a machine called the Illumina MiSeqDx. The device could accelerate the use of genetic information in everyday medical care, physicians hope, improving diagnoses and treatments.
The 23 enigma
Twenty-threes come thick and fast: babies get 23 chromosomes from each parent; 23 in the I-Ching means "breaking apart"; 23 is the psalm of choice at funerals; and so on.
