Today is Nov. 10, which means that tomorrow is Remembrance Day. It also means that tomorrow’s date is 11/11/11, one of those rare days when you don’t have to worry about proper date format. Too bad most businesses will be closed; it would be a nice day for paperwork.

 Everyone has their own opinions on superstition, and most people have a tendency to look for signs in ordinary occurrences. So, naturally 11/11/11 has become a trending topic on Twitter, a common place for light discussion on universal topics.

Most people are saying that 11:11 tomorrow morning and night will simply be two minutes of good luck, and good times to make a wish, buy a lottery ticket or take a risk. Some are also predicting it will be a good day to fall in love. I’ve never thought of Remembrance Day as being particularly romantic, but it would be an easy anniversary date to remember.

The most bizarre theory is that there are 1,111 spirit guardians who use digital clocks to get our attention at 11:11, just as a reminder that they are there. Some extreme believers in this theory will be performing rituals at the Great Pyramid of Giza, hoping the spirits will manifest themselves in a more obvious way.

My favourite approach to the date is that of the Corduroy Appreciation Club, whose members have chosen to recognize 11/11/11 for its resemblance to the fabric they love. They plan to celebrate by wearing as much corduroy as possible.

On Nov. 11, 1911, the central United States experienced an extreme temperature drop that’s become known as the Great Blue Norther of 11/11/11. In some cities, temperatures dropped 37 degrees Celsius in a 14-hour period. A few pessimists are predicting this will happen again, forecasting  extreme weather and natural disasters.

And some people aren’t making predictions at all, instead scolding everyone who is talking about the numeric significance 11/11/11 instead of Remembrance or Veterans Day. While I sort of agree with them, and I’m not overly superstitious, I just might wear my corduroy pants.
