    Anyone notice how many things in Gundam Wing are named after French numbers?

    Anyone notice how some of the charecters are named after numbers.

    Un: Number 1

    Troi pernounced Trowa I believe:
    (the number 3, the pilot uses Gundam 03)

    Quatre: the number 4, the pilot has Gundam 04.

    Treize: number 13.

    And I think Noin is a number as well. Can anyone explain the signifigance of the ones I missed?

    Cinc (pernounced Sanc as in the Sanc kingdom.)

    I have noticed that, althought the Trowa thing is a little new to me, I did realize Treize and Quatre were named after French numbers, but Dou, and Duex(think about it)
    This is very similar to the suggestion put forward by the Quirmian philosopher Ventre, who said, "Possibly the gods exist, and possibly they do not. So why not believe in them in any case? If it's all true you'll go to a lovely place when you die, and if it isn't then you've lost nothing, right?" When he died he woke up in a circle of gods holding nasty-looking sticks and one of them said, "We're going to show you what we think of Mr Clever Dick in these parts..."

    Whoa, I knew about some of that, but not all of that.

    There's a number section at 'Counting for Lunatics' that manages to be both informative and funny: http://www.dreamwater.org/deathscythe

    There's also a bunch of math stuff with the likes of 1x2, 5x5, etc.
