The Significance of thirteen

[TimBlackstone]

Hey Brian, Hope you had an awsome thanksgiving. I was wondering. Maybe I'm looking deeper into something that is'nt what i think it is, but what is the significance of the number thirteen on Lexx? There are 13 episodes in season three, we have "Category 13 waste material" (love grows) The numbers on the Higgs Boson Collider are a bunch of thirteens (YO way YO) and the name of the planet the lexx blows up in LuvLiner is called Boron 13. There other refrences to the number, but i cant think of them off the top of my head. Is this a running Gag on the show or am I simply watching to much Lexx?
At anyrate, I hope your having a good time ... Talk to you later

Hey Tim !1

Being from Canada, Thanksgiving for us was about a month ago - but I send the wish right back to you. Actually in Newfoundland, we didn't celebrate thanksgiving at all... we had other holidays that were heaps of fun.
As far as '13' goes ... I'm assuming it was used because it is a great number - has some dark overtones, is easily remembered, and has more than one digit. I am pretty darn sure none of the writers we into black magic, or satsnism - we would have spotted that right away. It could be a sub-conscious urge on Paul's part to rebel against his catholic childhood ... aahhh, many theories might be put forth, but I think that it is just an easy number to agree to in a story conference... by the way, they held 13 conferences every year........ woooooooooooo !!! (the last bit was a lie)

Tim,
I haven't thought about it that way before; I'll have to pay more attention to that the next time I watch either of them. That would be cool & I wonder what other episodes from Lexx has that number (13) somewhere.

Wasn't Earth aka The Little Blue Planet a Type- 13 planet in it's last stages?

Absolutley Bebop! That one is glaringly obvious, i dont know how i missed it....LOL *lack of sleep*

There were 5 13s on the collider display... 5 x 13 = 65, and there were 65 hours of Lexx

See, maths can be fun!

Trivia time - there's actually a word for fear of the number 13 - Triskaidekaphobia

Maybe I should stop reading the dictionary at breakfast, hee hee

You do the math sweetie.....I think I'll stick to all the other stuff that doesn't include headaches lol
You know Chemistry class wasn't bad until they wanted me to balance equations.........And my instructor was not pleased when I showed him what I thought about it.......he he he
