Wow I love the BDD inspired syntax.

Truly, now anybody can check if their number is thirteen without being a hardcore developer!

But is it numberwang?

Maybe my weekend project will be a numberwang NPM package.

This code comment made me chuckle

    sometimes not a number but not not !NaN

Very mature...

I'm sorry, I don't follow. Why is this a thing?

Is this a parody of the plethora of "utility" libraries on npm that could just be replaced with a few lines of code?

Some of the issues are funny.

My favourite: `ß` is basically not thirteen

The NPM library is pretty insane. A slightly more advanced package than this parody is 'is-odd' (https://www.npmjs.com/package/is-odd). It has 3 million downloads within the last 7 days.

Other than that, I must say that the repo is quite hilarious. The numerous references to blockchains did it for me. "Perhaps adding a blockchain would solve this problem, although at this stage I'm not exactly sure how."

The fact that you can't tell pretty much sums up what's wrong with the npm eco system :)

    "olivia wilde", // AND because SHE's "Thirteen"  
    "dr. remy beauregard hadley", // Why not 13's real name?!
These both made me chuckle.
At least it is properly unit tested :D
