11.11.11 11/11/11

Post by Gob »

There are some on the outer fringes of the internet who say it heralds the end of the world; but for others, it looks like the perfect day for a wedding

At 11.11.11 on 11.11.11, the time and date will be a perfect same-numbered palindrome, reading the same backwards as forwards, an event which can only happen on one day every 100 years.

And even the most hardened sceptic will surely pause for a moment to reflect on the unique occurrence, which will not come around again in the lifetime of most of us.

Among other things, 11.11.11 will be:

Armistice Day, celebrated around the world.
A day of spiritual significance for those who believe the number 11 has a mystical power.
A very special day to get married or have a birthday (especially if it's your 11th).
Perhaps even the end of the world, according to some 'prophecy' web forums.

The reason the date is so unusual is that 11.11.11 is the only double-figure palindromic date, since there is no 22nd month.

Any plans for 2/22/22?

Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

OH, I forgot to mention that it was my youngest daughter's (you know, the home schooled college genius with a perfect 4.00 grade average, not counting extra credits.) 20th birthday. :ok 8-)
