 		23 / Kevin Shutter
Pos trail, pos weirdo
Okay, so I finally got around to watching The Number 23 today. Well, technically as of writing this, I'm only part of the way through. The concept interested me enough though that I just had to pop online and see if there was any true historical significange behind the number 23. So I googled it and saw something interesting on the descrip of the wiki page. However, that was obviously from one of the page's numerous histories as the info was no longer there. Interested in finding the original page, I went one history back.
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=23_%28numerology%29&oldid=154764125
There's a phone number at the bottom, that has been removed only today.

call kevin shutter at 607-972-5023

Being the nosy person I am, I called and got an answer. The answerer was male, I would guess twenties to early thirties. All he said was "Hello?" and not wanting to ask outright my answer was "Hey, Chris?" Now, I was really just expecting the guy to say that I have the wrong number. However, what I got was a pause and "Yeah, this is Chris."

I have to admit though, I'm a chicken. I did ask him what was wrong with his voice, that he didn't sound like himself and there was another awkeward pause in which I hung up.

Anyone braver than me want to call and actually ask him what his connection to the number 23 is? Or if he's just a hoaxster in dire want of attention?

 		That's... very strange....
Very strange indeed....
I'm going to do a phone check on it to see who it may be.

UPDATE: I think you may have posted a game number Smile

Time Warner's the provider.
Unless I'm HORRIBLY mistaken, I don't think Time Warner is known for its phone service.Wink

 		actually Time Warner offers "digital phone".. I have no idea if that requires a 'land line" but it does require a phone number.

ETA: area code 607 is New York
972 prefix is the Owego area

Google "Kevin Shutter" New York finds this: http://www.myspace.com/kvnshutter (who lives 32 miles nw of Owego in Cayuta)


my guess... high school kid with a lot of time on his hands.....and yes... in need of some attention... man, i can only imagine how lonely someone would have to be to actually FAKE being someone called accidentally.
Sad

 		Well, I missed the crap out of that....
Then again, it may be some puppet master's new idea of an ARG....
I wouldn't do it, though.

 		uhhhh guess i should take that off... the Shroudites havent been showing up... the last two nights no one has come in. Britts and Gritts have been keeping house over there but they tell me ever since Will went off on Unibot about spying on them, no one has been around. Ive been going in and out, but we wind up talking about other stuff.. Adam, and whatnot...

 		Yeah well...Bot caught me on a bad day.

I don't think this is really anything guys...
I plan on looking deeper but, this just looks ordinary.

You can edit wiki pages, why you would put your number, I dunno.

 		Why did you ask for a person named Chris who is Chris?

 		Well, you obviously can't say flat-out, "Saw your number on wikipedia and I wanted to inquire about The Number 23", can you?

It was just a random name to use instantly.

 		Hmm...

Either:

A) A prank by "Chris's" friends,
B) NEW ARG!

Time for nerdiness.
