15. BTW: "1984" is a reference to the Orwell novel (SPOILER)....

In "1984", Winston Smith is so anxious to oppose Big Brother that he approaches his boss and joins "The Brotherhood". But it turns out that "The Brotherhood" was just a trap.

In an incident of "Life imitating Art", the predecessor to al Qaeda was an organization called "The Brotherhood". You can't make this stuff up.
