This year we will experience 4 unusual dates: 1/1/11, 1/11/11, 11/1/11, and 11/11/11. Now go figure this out - take the last 2 digits of the year you were born plus the age you will be this year and see what it equals...Example 77 + 34 = 111 - Very odd....

(19)71 + 40 = 111 Very cool. Good find! That's sort of how you calculate your age anyhow. Try it with last year and you'll get 110, and try it next year for 112.

Sooper Fast!
Maths are too freaky!

It's just numbers, people. I've seen this plastered all over Facebook.

Born in '82, will be 29 = 111

Now, how ever much you change the year you were born in (up until after 1999) the date of birth changes by that much. Some one that' born in 85 (82+3) will be 26 (29-3) and 85 + 26 = 111. Simple math.

Notice how I sneakily have used an example, not my actual age.....

FINALLY SOMEBODY SEES THIS!!
god, who cares about this dinky 2012 garbage... for one brief moment, every digit in time (barring the 20 in 2011) will be a 1...
I honestly hope something big happens,

Big year for binary folks: 111111. Of course, 11111111 would have been cooler since the full octet would have been there.
