Twentysix = six-and-twenty in Dutch/German.

I'd imagine that Slovenia ranks with the Netherlands and Germany, then, cause they say their numbers that way, as well. I'm used to it cause I speak German, but it can still be really confusing when I hear the "wrong number" first.

And that's how we learn that T-6005 probably has family in the north-west of France :D

I heard Nick say zebra in an episode of CSI when calling in a code for a death. Maybe it's zebra for z.

ROFL! Either I remembered it wrong or they said it wrong on the show! It was in the beginning of the episodes called "Unleashed." XD
