    \$\begingroup\$ I assume the use of the characters 'bbc' and the use of base 13 is a Douglas Adams tribute. "I may be a sorry case, but I don't write jokes in base 13." \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jan 2, 2014 at 15:34

    \$\begingroup\$ @BrianMinton: The use of Base 13 is probably because it's the only base between 2 and 36 that allows the number 2014 to be represented without any of the characters 0-9. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jan 5, 2014 at 4:25
