    How palindromic, even if you do put the month before the day.

    You mean there are places where it's going to be 11/11 in stead of 11/11? Holy bass ackward practices, Batman! I bet you're going to tell me that some people start reading from the back of the book, too!

    A couple of my friends were going to have a wedding party today, but...stupid boys sometimes do stupid things with boys who aren't their fiances.
    So, I'll whisper in the dark, hoping you'll hear me.

    I'm really sorry for the friend who did not do the stupid thing.

    My mother says she knows a lot of midwives whose clients want to have their babies today. I guess it'll make for an easy way to remember the birth date.
    So now they are just dirt-covered English people in fur pelts with credit cards.

    It's apparently a highly mystically and good-aligned charged day today and so other such stuff like that.

    Apparently the pyramids were closed down because some Polish group wanted to harness their mystical energy to create a shield around the earth.

    Best one of the day is still the ultimate Nelson in the South Africa vs Australia Cricket match. South Africa needing 111 runs to win at 11:11. Apparently they had the entire crowd on one leg to support it.

    I'll never understand people who put mystical significance on dates. Don't they understand how absurdly arbitrary our calendar system actually is? It's as much about classical politics as anything else. If they're looking for a religious connection, most scholars in the field date Christ's birth between 6 and 4 BC, with his death 30 and 36 AD. Neither of which is 2011 years ago.

    No kidding. I'm sure today is of no particular significance in whatever calendar the pyramid-builders used.

    Maybe Jesus did something in Egypt when he was five?

    Everybody knows that 11/11/11 has nothing to do with the pyramids and everything to do with Easter Island. See? It even looks like a row of Moai.

    As long as it's not the Rapture for the third freakin' time this year, I'm cool with it.

    Yes... how irrational of them. I'm sure the moment the realise that calendars are based on culture and not on universal truths they'll repent and convert to AllWalkerism

    In other news, to the Polish pyramid people... a) nice alliteration, b) we already have a shield around the Earth, c) by strengthening it we are in danger of losing polar ice caps and low lying islands. I prefer my voodoo to be carbon neutral.
    Something tells me we haven't seen the last of foreshadowing.

    Hey, irrational I can deal with. It's internal inconsistency that bugs me.

    Or, you know, it happens every hundred years. Almost like...a calendar.

    You want internal consistency? Simply combine it with a Young Earth Creationist viewpoint. If the universe is only 39 years old then it totally works.
