11.11 on 11/11/11: are you going to mark the palindromic moment in time?

 "At 11 minutes past 11 on Friday the world clock will tick past a palindrome - 11:11 11.11.11.

While some will be thinking of Armistice Day and holding a minute of silence at 11 o'clock, others have decided to celebrate a rare numerical occurrence 11 minutes later – or even 12 hours and 11 minutes later for those not au fait with the 24-hour clock.

"Happy palindrome o'clock" was the phrase used by Guardian writer Tom Meltzer earlier this week, while Hadley Freeman pays her sartorial homage to The Day That Most Resembles Corduroy - and already signs across the globe demonstrate a creativity for finding the most baffling meaning in the date-anomaly."
