Ten years after

When I'm 99 years old and living on the moon, I bet I will still feel a little spark of recognition and significance when I notice the clock reading 11.21

*considers adding explanation for those not in the know*

*decides against*

*smiles mischievously*

EDIT: Apparently nowadays a time of 11.21 indicates that you're about to get up, leave the computer... and stand on a dead mouse. :-(

Heh. I still feel the same. And also when I see 10:13.

I never seem to notice 10.13 in the same was as 11.21. Or maybe this is just because I tend to be downstairs (no digital clock) at 10.13, but in bed (digital clock by bed) by 11.21, so it's a time I see more often.

Nope, don't get it.

It's an X-Files reference. I was a huge X-Files fan for several years in the mid-nineties. Significant things always happened when the clock displayed 11.21, or on flight 1121, or so on. The big boss's wife's birthday was 21st November, so it was a reference to that. His was 13th October, so 10.13 was also a significant X-Files number - and also the name of his production company.

Ah, it all makes sense. I should probably watch the X-Files at some point.
