Happy 11/11/11 day!


In fact, a couple of minutes ago it was 11:11 11/11/11.

no it wasnt.

It was 11:11 11/11/2011

Apophenia abounds !

What about daylight savings?

So you're saying it's not 11/11/11 and that you have NEVER in your life seen the date written in that format?

Or are you just being pedantic.

I'll go with the latter.

It's not 11/11/11

11/11/11 was 2000 years ago.

When you date a document do you write 11/11/11 ? Didn't think so.

What about it young funky david?

Yes, me and millions of other people.

Well... are you sure it wasn't reall 10:11 when you were refering to it being 11:11

Its all so confusing.

Not to mention the Gregorian calendar isn't that accurate, as it was only adopted in 1582.

It is confusing! but i have all my mathematical equations here with me, i'll send them to you. And i'm certain judging by the position of the sun, the alignment of the planets and the direction the wind was blowing that i was bang on when i said "a couple of minutes ago"

Are you sure it was really 1582 it was adopted?

If only Jesus was here he could clarify all this for us.. *sigh*

Exactly dave, 1582 was a pretty arbitrary number

I don't follow the Gregorian calendar i follow the Smithsodian Calendar. It's more useful as it has longer days and bonus holidays thrown in.

armistice day

a toast to the fallen

Why did you use it then?

I have to say I found it way more exciting this year than 10:10 10/10/10 last year. That was fully a let down eh.

11:11 has more meaning i think.

You just wait david, lots of magical things are going to happen today!

Oooh I hope my magical things you mean that my plans to seduce the 18 year old girl I'm seeing after work will be successful...

Cause that I will shake a stick at!

I don't get this... are we meant to give a fuck that OMG THEY IZ ALL ONES!!!11!!

You're toooo late Gummi bear.. too late

Doing it wrong!!!!

You could woo her with some hip gregorian monk chanting.

All this hoohaa about some numbers, no one remembers what 11/11 is supposed to be about.

Today is the best luck day ever!! for example I had booked my car in next week to get the cambelt replaced etc.. AND then today they had a dailydo deal to get a cambelt replaced on any japanese car for only $249!!!!!!!!!!! instead of the $$750+ I was going to pay next week!! and THEN the receptionist is away so I get to do some reception work which is super fun and I miss doing reception and ALSO it's super sunny and that means the traffic will be awesome going home so I have time to get a picnic together to have at the beach tonight OMG! Today RULES.

And yes good day to remember the end of world war 1

Yes, you're meant to give a huge fuck.

Are you saying you don't?

Have you written today's date, it is the funnest day EVER to write. 11/11/11

And it's only going to happen once in our lifetime so YES give a FK!!! it's awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

11/11/11
11/11/11

FUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

I echo Kris's sentiment. Everytime someone has said to me today: "Have you noticed the date?" I've replied: "Yes, it's Armistice Day." To which I've, in every single occasion, gotten a blank look.

People suck.

They went with songs to the battle, they were young.
Straight of limb, true of eyes, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,
They fell with their faces to the foe.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

heres me thinking it was some Hollywood horror movie

This.
