Interesting error in Deus Ex 1

During JC Denton's escape from Versalife labs in Hong Kong, he recovers a virus engineered with the molecular structure in multiples of 17 and 23. Tracer Tong notes "1723... the birthdate of Adam Weishaupt"

Weishaupt, founder of the Illuminati in Bavaria, was in fact born in 1748, not as claimed by Tong in 1723.

Obviously an Illuminati plot to confuse you...

Now how can I trust Tong at the end of the game? Why should I cut the coolant flow for him?

The Illuminati have probably infiltrated Wikipedia, too.. Everyone knows Weishaupt was born in 1723!
Anyway, that is interesting. Good find!

lol Majestic.

I don't find anything special about 1723 or 1748. 1723 is the birthdate of some people who signed the Declaration of Independence.

Now how can I trust Tong at the end of the game? Why should I cut the coolant flow for him?

You shouldn't, the cutscene is terrible. At least Page goes in fireworks and Helios is kinda cool with his Disco DJ voice.

I didn't cut the coolant, because it was going to kill the animals and I'm vegetarian

rofl I read that line as "I'm Vegetation." lol.

the illuminati are all around us, even now in this very room *cough*
