This Friday is a special day. It is a day the we will probably see only once in our lifetime. It is all the more poignant as the date would normally be marked every year as the date and time of the Armistice. But this year it is a little different. Why? Because - Not only is it the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, it is also of the eleventh year. So - 11.11am on 11.11.11
This wont happen again until the year 2111.

Just add the real year of 2011 in the mix and almost nothing works, except for 11/02/2011 but I don't remember anybody mentioning it at the time.

Those of us who do our maths in base 7 find all this bemusing.
