Did you know there are five dollar amounts you’re NOT ALLOWED to bet on “Jeopardy!”? One of them is $69, for obvious reasons. Another one is $666 because, as Iron Maiden taught us, it’s the NUMBER OF THE BEAST.

And the 88 refers to Lane’s “88 Precepts” a set of rules and guidelines on white supremacy that he wrote while he was locked up.
