all your base

In which Mark is stalked by George Lucas

Once upon a time, everyone's least favourite Star Wars director made a film called THX1138. References to that have been scattered throughout his later work (and have cropped up in other films as well). Over the last couple of months, I seem to have been spotting the time 11:38 Far more frequently than chance should allow.

The question is, am I merely noticing this time more frequently because it has meaning, am I subconsciously checking the clock more frequently around that time, or is George Lucas beaming signals into my brain to try and make me buy his DVD? Or am I simply going quietly mad?
