Is 13 the new 11?

Readers of my blogs will recall my interest in the subject of crypto fascism, defined loosely as the codes used by crooks to communicate with each other surreptitiously.  There is a division of The FBI devoted to this branch of criminology.  Recently I saw a segment about it on The NBC Nightly News with Brian Willaims.

I'm into the study of numerical crypto fascism as I saw in great abundance on 9/11, the number 11 as a motif and resembling a double slash, so even Flight 77 that crashed into The Pentagon falls into this set.

Well forget about the number 11.  Now look for the number 13 in movies, TV shows, commercials.

I took The McDonald's logo with the line 'I'm loving it' underneath and I rotated the whole unit 45 degrees clockwise.  I don't know but it sure looks like a 13 to me.  (The reason I thought of this is because I actually saw it done in a McDonald's TV ad during a football game.)  The people at McDonald's should give the hairy eyeball to whoever dreamed-up that ad campaign. 

And Oceans 13?  Throw 'em all life preservers.

And if you haven't figured it out yet, please go to Mr. Brian Setzer's CD '13' and check out the thirteenth song, 'The Hennepin Avenue Bridge.'  Personally I find the song astonishing, including the priets who dives in the river at the end the song and goes over the falls laughing.

Then there’s the 1-35 Mississippi River bridge collapse in Minneapolis on August 1, 2007.  You could see The Mississippi River Bridge from The Hennepin Avenue Bridge.

I was such a big fan of his until Thursday.  What a goddamn shame.
