I hooked up my old computer in her room, and set her up on her (DSL-based) wireless (RF) network, so she now has internet access.

    “How exactly does one come up with a meme like this?”

    It’s a Discordian thing. 5 and 23 are the magic numbers of Discordianism. From the Principia:

    “The Law of Fives is one of the oldest Erisian Mysterees. It was first revealed to Good Lord Omar and is one of the great contributions to come from The Hidden Temple of The Happy Jesus.

    POEE subscribes to the Law of Fives of Omar’s sect. And POEE also recognizes the holy 23 (2+3=5) that is incorporated by Episkopos Dr. Mordecai Malignatus, KNS, into his Discordian sect, The Ancient Illuminated Seers of Bavaria.

    The Law of Fives states simply that: ALL THINGS HAPPEN IN FIVES, OR ARE DIVISIBLE BY OR ARE MULTIPLES OF FIVE, OR ARE SOMEHOW DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY APPROPRIATE TO 5.

    The Law of Fives is never wrong.”
