Did anyone follow the 2009 remake TV series The Prisoner?
(it was just on here in Australia)
I would hate a world in which everybody had numbers as names.

I wouldn't mind a palindromic binary number name.
"10011001 or 10000001 or 11111111 or 11011011 or 11000011 or 00000000 or 00111100 or 01011010 or 11000011 or 11100111"
Are there only 10 combinations? My brain has timed out.

The Prisoner
Years ago when reading a biography of the Marquis de Sade I discovered two interesting bits of info: (1) While he was imprisoned in the Bastille, just before the French Revolution, he was incarcerated in cell 6 and known to the guards as Monsieur Numero Six; (2) He was a descendant of Laura de Noves (1310–48), whom some say was Petrarch's Laura of the sonnets.
Ceci n'est pas un seing.

Noves. We spent our summers there and all people are convinced Laura de Noves was indeed Petrarca's Laura. That Petrarca first saw her on April 6 in 1327 in the church at Avignon makes it very easy to accept this. Noves lies only at a distance of 11 km. (7 miles?) from Avignon. link (btw. She also died on April 6 in 1348)
