#23This 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?
Chinese only has uppercase numbers (called 大写, lit. "big writing").

Uppercase is just a simple way to put it, but it's not exactly precise. Chinese has different numeral forms depending on the usage context. The more complex versions are also known as Financial.

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.
Oh, that actually makes a lot of sense. That also explains why they're used for checkwriting. Thanks!

#26My 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 either [1] That IS the joke, or [2] the issues are where the good jokes lie. Maybe the real joke is in the commits?
It's pretty much brilliant top to bottom. I starred the hell out of this repo.

#27Can't someone do this in about 4 characters of Perl?
Yes, but the "could be interpreted as" operator, colloquially "sleep equals" is pretty obscure and not recommended for production: "thirteen" ~_~ 13

I'm imagining someone repeatedly unstarring the repo just to re-star it again.
