Good list Adam!

Yes friends (Justin, Adam and those interested),
9 is certainly a symbol in the Kabuki story for REBIRTH.
I usually choose my numbers carefully.
For instance room 101 (the doctors room) is a reference to a new education in a subject. A la Physics 101 or the like in college. Room 101 here is a room of re-education. It is also the room number mentioned in George Orwell's 1984 in which the protagonist is tortured in order to recieve his own "re-education".
In Kabuki's case, the subject of the education is herself.

I noticed that as fans of comic books, the directors of the Matrix put a lot of comic book references into the Matrix.
Right at the beginning, the police come to room 101 that Trinity was in. This was kind of cool, as I imagine it was a sort of tip to the many issues Kabuki's story was taking place in room 101.

: OK, Kabuki and the number 9...

: She spends 9 months in her mother's womb (obvious)

: When she's attacked as a child she's clinically dead for
: nine minutes...

: She bites off her finger... 9 left

: After she gets shot, doctors have to remove 9 feet of
: intestines

: 9 months in Control Corps

: 9 issues of metamorphosis

: I think there's more too!
