    Anyone else watch 11:11.11 11-11-11 tick by?

    I did... But then I'm sad!
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Nope, just a time of day. the earths still spinning. only time of note that got my attention was the millennium. even then its an arbitrary number associate with the earths rotation cycle. I've never associated the time with any sort of major significance or mysticism. I get its mildly interesting that the human race achieved a get of temporal doubles, but it was 11:11:11 for another country before us and another after us but it wasn't suddenly special where it was that time zone.

    But thats like the folks who predict rapture at a specific time. one mans 6am is anothers 4pm y'know?

    Hasn't happened yet for me. The main number I occasionally keep track of is 4:20...
    But I'll try to remember to keep an eye out for this one just for poos and giggles.

    no. that's when the Great War aka WWI ended. at 11:00 am on 11 Nov 1918.

    neil is just fascinated by eleventh hour, eleventh minute, eleventh second of the eleventh month of the eleventh year of this century.

    I think you just made the cheeky image doubly-appropriate.

    Nah, wasn't really interested in 11/11/11 or 11:11.11..

    33, however, now there is a magic number. Keep an eye out for it - it appears everywhere.

    Everyone was supposed to get a blowie at that precise moment, but only if they were paying attention at the exact second ... did you not get the mass email & text? Oh well, billions of emails and texts, the odd one's bound to get lost in t'interweb t'ether t'in't'it?

    Nevermind - next year it's 12:12.12 12-12-12!

    But if you suddenly find yourself looking at 13:13.13 13-13-13, then you're in trouble.
