i know some of you have heard of how some people think 11:11 is lucky according to numerology. and i know some of you think numerology is a load of crap. but this is a purely trivial question that i am not going to base my life on or anything like that. almost ever since i heard about 11:11, i seem to look at my watch alot when it’s 11:12. i always halfway jokingly took this to mean that i always miss a good thing by just one minute, hour, day, etc. and the more i look at it, it does seem that way alot. for example, my birthday was just 3 days after the cut off date when they make you wait an extra year to start school, all the good teachers my sister had always quit the year before i would have been in their class (and it’s not because of me; because i’m one of just about every teacher’s favorite students.), my vision is just about 30 or so points below being able to get my permit, etc. you get the point. but, anyways, i was just curious what 11:12 might actually mean. ---

LAMEST POST EVER TO FOLLOW… (_still the thread got my attention_ Perhaps you thought of it at 11:11 and just are a lil slow at picking up your subconscience. i.e. we all have internal clocks, run pretty accurate. (unless chemically handicapped) I brush it off to the subconscience. Calling Cecil… ---

11 + 12 = 23. This indicates Illuminati involvement. An aluminum foil deflector beanie should help you filter out the fnords. ---

It was the address of the house in which I grew up. Perhaps we’re twins? ---

Only some of us?! If I wasn’t so busy making crop circles, I’d do a head count. Given the purpose of the Board is to ‘dispel ignorance’, I would expect 99.9% to do so. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by gypsymoth3 \* > almost ever since i heard about 11:11, i seem to look at my watch alot when it’s 11:12. Well we all have selective memories, partly because we would be overwhelmed by the mass of input otherwise. But consider this: If you look at your watch and see 11.12, you think “ah! that’s significant. I must remember this moment.” If you look at your watch and see any other time, you think (for example) “Where did I leave my car keys? I’m late.” The plural of anecdote is not data. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by gypsymoth3 \* > but, anyways, i was just curious what 11:12 might actually mean. Honestly, nothing in particular. ---

Don’t forget the 17/23 correlation.
