[edit] Triskaidekaphobia

Does the name of this doctor have any relations to triskaidekaphobia?? 66.245.22.135 00:49, 31 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Where's the beef?

To beef up the entry, I thought I would give some summaries.

Dr. Thirteen first appeared in Star-Spangled Comics#122 (November 1951). Terry Thirteen's family had been scientists who long faced violence for their pursuit of science. Thirteen's father set up a test for five years after his (the father's) death. Terry was to be alone in the family home and try to contact his father's spirit. The test happened, and although Terry heard his father's voice, he found a rational explanation.

In the next issue, Thirteen faced a maker of voodoo dolls. In #124, Thirteen investigated an Aztec structure called a "Suicide Tower". In #125 he faced a bogus "blind" man who claimed to have an invisible dog. In #126 he faced the "Phantom of Paris". In #127 he faced a criminal with the alleged power to astral project. In #128 he faced a woman who claimed to be immmortal, reviving infrequently from suspended animation. #129 involved the "Human Orchids". #130 placed Thirteen in a town afraid of the number 13. An individual profiting from this fear plots to slay Thirteen. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.147.140.206 (talk • contribs) 19:05, 18 August 2005

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Dr 13.jpg

Image:Dr 13.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] House

I think there should be a link to Dr. Thirteen (as played by Olivia Wilde) in the hit series House MD. I dunno how to, but there must be someone for whom it's 10 seconds work. :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.132.109.105 (talk) 21:43, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
