I'm totally gonna announce my campaign for presidency right now and it's gonna have a whole shitload of "11"s as policy platform centerpieces.

Last binary minute of the century (unless you count 2100 as this century). :-(

This is the easiest date to write ever. Writing all other dates can only get worse. Ugh, this is terrible.

That was corduroy's big moment!! The Prince of Wales now walks among us. He is wide, he is narrow. Hear his mighty swoosh.

Kurt Vonnegut from Breakfast of Champions: "When I was a boy, and when Dwayne Hoover was a boy, all the people of all the nations which had fought in the First World War were silent during the eleventh minute of the eleventh hour of Armistice Day, which was the eleventh day of the eleventh month. It was during that minute in nineteen hundred and eighteen, that millions upon millions of human bein...gs stopped butchering one another. I have talked to old men who were on battlefields during that minute. They have told me in one way or another that the sudden silence was the Voice of God. So we still have among us some men who can remember when God spoke clearly to mankind. Armistice Day has become Veterans' Day. Armistice Day was sacred. Veterans' Day is not. So I will throw Veterans' Day over my shoulder. Armistice Day I will keep. I don't want to throw away any sacred things. What else is sacred? Oh, Romeo and Juliet, for instance. And all music is."
