GILBERTIAN OCCULTISM

Would anybody like to draw any conclusions from the following list of facts?

  • Gilbert was born in 1836
  • Henry Lytton died in 1936
  • Sullivan was born in 1842
  • I was born in 1942
  • Gilbert, Sullivan & Lytton were all knighted, the only 3 people connected with the operas to have been so.
  • Sullivan was born in May and died in November
  • Gilbert was born in November and died in May
  • I was born in November
  • Gilbert was born on 18th of the month
  • Sullivan was born on 13th of the month
  • I was born on 5th of the month
  • 18 - 13 = 5, which is my date of birth
  • 13 - 5 = 8, which is my lucky number

Enough of babble, come!
