#12My first reaction was, "Haha. That's fun code-as-parody." Then I looked at the unit tests. [1] Now my reaction is more like, "Your commitment to this bit is both admirable and slightly disturbing." [1] https://github.com/jezen/is-thirteen/blob/master/test.js
I think that's the point the parody is making. A simple "piece" of code can have thousands of edge cases that a normal developer doesn't think about. That's the advantage of the UNIX-style "everything does one thing and does it well" philosophy that Node mirrors.

> tap.equal(is("B").thirteen(), true); // B looks like 13

#14This is a great example of why it is important to use modules. If I were to try implementing this myself, I might have thought to check for the Chinese string "十三", but I doubt I would have known to check for the uppercase version of the Chinese string "拾叄".
More seriously, does anyone know what "uppercase" means in Chinese? Do they literally have two (seemingly unrelated) forms for each of their characters?

I think that either [1] That IS the joke, or [2] the issues are where the good jokes lie. Maybe the real joke is in the commits?

Only numerals have upper cases to prevent tampering. For example, you can alter 一(one) to 十(ten) pretty easily, but not 壹 to 拾.

There is no uppercase character in Chinese.
The Chinese characters are unicode strings.
The answer would be the same about an uppercase emoji.
