11/11/11 : Welcome to the Age of Prophecy and Mass Stupidity

Significance of 11/11/11

Based on past calendar dates such as 10/10/10, or October 10, 2010, no significant or unusual phenomenon occurs simply because of a date that has the same numbers in a sequence.

The numerical sequence of November 11 holds a special significance in the binary numeral system, which is the base-2 number system that represents numeric values using two symbols, 0 and 1. The date of November 11 has a binary number of 111110 where it has a decimal equivalent of 62 in the year 2010, and a binary number of 111111 with a decimal equivalent of 63 in the year 2011.

The number eleven has a special characteristic in mathematics where it is the sixth prime number. It contains some interesting peculiarities where the number eleven times itself equals a palindrome:
 

 
 

11/11/11 (a.k.a. 11-11-11); Friday, November 11, 2011: Singularity Summary

Most predictions and opinions concerning 11/11/11 are based on or rooted in its mathematical uniqueness as a number.

11*11*11: There are three possible scenarios:

1. Something good happens— There is absolutely no scientific basis for this belief. There are no known logical premises for this belief. The belief that something good will happen is based solely on spiritualism, faith, and/or innate optimism. This belief is not necessarily a bad thing; we don’t know everything; the probability is not zero.

2. Nothing happens— This is the most likely scenario. Just because an unusual date number sequence occurs doesn’t mean that something extraordinary will happen. Usually it’s a non-event.

3. Something bad happens— There is absolutely no scientific basis for this belief. There are no known logical premises for this belief. The belief that something bad will happen is based solely on pessimism of reality. This belief is not necessarily false; after all, things are generally/usually a mess. The probability is not zero.

It's a Sarah Palindrome






Lest we forget, Veterans Day and Armistice Day is on 11/11/11, but that is so like humans to blow off the important holidays we create. So let us please have a moment of silence for our fallen and living soldiers.



Amen.

Hmmmmm.....talk to your bartender.....

Psychiatrist vs. Bartender

Ever since I was a child, I’ve always had a fear
of someone under my bed at night. so I went to a shrink
and told him ‘I’ve got problems. Every time I go to bed
I think there’s Somebody under it. I’m scared.
I think I’m going crazy.’

‘Just put yourself in my hands for one year,’ said the shrink. ‘Come talk to me three times a week and we should be able to get rid of those fears’.

‘How much do you charge?’

‘Eighty dollars per visit,’ replied the doctor.

‘I’ll think about it,’ I said.

Six months later, I met the doctor on the street.
‘Why didn’t you come to see me about those fears you were
having?’ he asked.

‘Well, Eighty bucks a visit three times a week for a year
is an awful lot of money! A bartender cured me for $10.

I was so happy to have saved all that money that I bought
me a new pickup!’

‘Is that so!’ With a bit of an attitude he said, ‘and how,
may I ask, did a bartender cure you?’

‘He told me to cut the legs off the bed! -
Ain’t nobody under there now!!!’

STAY AWAY FROM THE SHRINKS..
HAVE A DRINK & TALK TO A BARTENDER!

Bruce Lee playing ping-pong, priceless. Interesting paddle he's using there, too. Thank you so much for this thread and that link.

I discovered Bruce Lee just after he died. Hubby and I have all his movies, and even Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story with Jason Scott Lee.

My teenager is so lazy that when I walked into the living room and found him sobbing on the couch, I asked him what was wrong.

He whined, "I'm sitting on my balls...."
