Odds are, I won't be giving a shit. The true 11/11/11 was 11/11/1111.

Or 11/11/111111 BC.

Since I plan on living forever, I could just wait for 2/2/2222

It wouldn't be the same unless it was 22/22/2222 and that just doesn't happen.

Got me there.

Maybe 11/11/11111111? Has the universe been around that long?

Around 1100 times longer, actually.

Yes, a couple for now. One of them being interesting. No I won't say which one (no ads!)

No, 11/11/11. Which came 21 years after another 11/11/11, by the way.

Around 410 times longer, actually.

Well 11/11/1111111111 would just be ridiculous.

This makes no sense to me. Why do Americans put the month before the day when writing dates?

Lol. Have fun with the scaring-the-shit-out-of-people thing.

Because they want to be different?

Also, there is absolutely nothing significant about that date, in my eyes.

along with remebering those who have lost thier lives (11/11/11 is remberance day after all), the UK is releasing Harry Potter 7 part 2 on DVD and the next assassins creed is also released. Plus its 4 days before my birthday

11. November 2011, is the Bear Slayer Day in Latvia. Back in 1919, there was a major battle for Latvian capital Riga, between Latvian army and army of Bermondt. A large force of Germans and Russian pows attempted to destroy Latvian independence and marched towards Riga. However they were stopped at and beaten in counter attack by Latvians assisted by British warships. Lacplesis or Bear Slayer is Latvian mythological hero and that's way this day is named after him. Its a celebration for me since my relative fought against Bermondt and was awarded for bravery with highest state award. So its gonna be another special 11 November for me.

11/11/11 will be the last binary date for some time.

Remember it well.

Remembrance Day, of course. The elder scrolls told of their return. When the truth finally dawned, it dawned in fire

This would probably be inadvisable for anyone participating in Rememberance Day celebrations which would involve a minute's silence.

Holy crap you're right. :shock:

I have a private fascination with things like this. I shit a brick every time I look at my clock and it reads 22:22.

Yeah. Seven billion years, if I remember right. But don't quote me on that. So you might have 11/11/1,111,111,111 BC

Those freaky bony fish probably celebrated it.

Really? I thought it was like 4.2 or 4.6 billion? Or is that just our sun?

Oh well. Maybe I can do it on 12/12/2012?

Making advance plans to gaze in awe at something seems weird.

I'll be working my ass off for some moneys. Similar to most days really.

I won't be taking part in Armistice Day at 11:00 because I'm actually neutral and I do not take part in anything to do with the military. I'm not going to disrupt anyone, though - it's their choice.

The point isn't really the military. The point is to honor the men and women that have died so that you can make choices like that.
