Remember the 90's!

[blackbeltninja]

Two words:

Swatch Watch.

I still have one of those, although the little button on the side is buggered and so you can't change the time.



Anyway... the significance of the number 23? I remember all the other things, but can't quite put my finger on that one.

Someone want to help me out, here?
