11:11? help?

maybe I'm showing my age more than I realize, or maybe I am just not 'with it' anymore, lol. But what is 11:11? What does it mean? where did it come from? How did it start? I see this all the time on myspace, but have no idea. One survey bulletin even asked something like, "Do u make a wish everyday at 11:11?" Is it a time? For what? Are u supposed to make a wish then? Why?

11:11? help?
I'm going to guess that it originates from the fact that the Germans singed the World war I armistance on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1911 (in other words, 11/11/11 at or about 11:11).
Reply:When you look at the time and it happens to be 11:11, make a wish. It's just like witnessing a shooting star.
Reply:It is just that all 4 #'s are the same, its a myth that if you wish something on11:11 it will come true.
Reply:I started noticing the clock was at that time a lot whenever something good happened, so I googled it and there seems to be an entire world of people who are obsessed with it and 444 too. My opinion is that it's the only time of day when 4 of the same digits appear, you're likely to be awake and glancing at thje clock to see if it's lunch time or how late it is for bedtime and once you notice it's unusual, it becomes a habit and then you find yourself automatically looking up at 11:11. It's like when you wake up 30 seconds before your alarm rings, an internal timer.





Don't put too much emphasis on it. I've seen sites already where I've been asked for money for the secrets of 11:11. Hell it's as bad as a televangelist.





We have enough people trying to mess with our heads.
Reply:Yeah its just 4 of the same numbers so its supposed to be a lucky minute and you make a wish. Its like the touching metal when you cross railroad tracks and make a wish, same thing.
Reply:its a lucky minute!! make a wish!
Reply:it's just because the time.. it's all 1's and no other hour can do that. with all four numbers being the same number.. like 2:22 it's only 3 numbers where 11:11 is all 4..





it's supposed to be special but I just don't see it.
