Lucky Thirteen.

'Levitated Apples' didn't come on line in time to recognize Richard Wagner on his birthday - but better late than never.

Wagner (1813-1883) who regarded himself as "the most German of men", and "the German spirit" considered thirteen to be his lucky number.

He was born in 1813, had thirteen letters in his name, he left school at thirteen, wrote thirteen operas, and loved thirteen women in his life. His year of birth adds up to thirteen, and he died on the 13th February, 1883.
