Hoooookay. That was creepy and uncomfortable, but I promised I'd do it so I shall. ._.
I know I've got a pagan or two kicking around on Ye Olde Flist. I just got asked by a coworker whose wife died last month to research the numbers "11/11"--her date of death, which she'd apparently been seeing (clocks, checks at work, grocery totals, etc.) pretty much every day for a couple of years before her death. I'm assuming I got asked because he thinks I have seekrit occult knowledges and/or I'm the only non-Judeo-Christian-religion-affiliated person in the office.
My immediate (internal) answer was "Oh man, Zoro's birthday!" My cynical, scientific answer is "confirmation bias and coincidence," but I'd feel like a bit of a hoser saying that to a guy who just spent four months watching his wife die of cancer. >>; So I promised him I'd ask around.
Folks, any numerological significance to 11/11?
