It's ALWAYS 11

    Ok for the last few months I have been noticing an odd......happening.

    Every time (actually about 95%) I look at a clock it says 11 minutes past whatever hour, what the hell is with that?
    I'm serious, almost every single time.

    To make things even stranger......I've never told anyone about this, just figured it was kinda cool/weird. Then a few nights ago my son comes downstairs and says "You know whats weird, it's always 11 minutes past when I look at the clock"

    Of course I then told him my story and we were both like :confused

    I'm totally serious and 100% telling the truth here.
    Whats even scarier is on Friday we were rearanging stuff in the house and a wall clock that stopped months and months ago reads 2:45.....not strange at all huh?.......except the hour hand is stopped in the 11 minutes past position instead of further towards 3 where it should be for 45 minutes past.

    And no, I never changed the bats in the wall clock cos no one ever looks at it, it's in a back room lol

    BTW this thread was inspired by the 00:00 hour thread and was brought to you by the letter E (for eleven).

    Very weird. I think we program ourselves though. Kind of like if you start waking up in the middle of the night, it's generally the exact same time...well, at least for me. I think this is the same. You've somehow conditioned yourself to do it.

    Yeah I have thought about that, some kind of subconsious decision to look at the clock or only realise I'm looking at the clock IF it reads 11 minutes past.

    Or it could be aliens, thats a much cooler answer, yeah I'm gonna go with aliens :-D

    I don't use an alarm clock any more but when i do/did i have a knack of waking up just before it goes off and have been like this most of my life.
    It is something in the subconscious that has it's own built in clock.

    Tell you what i have found, and it always seems to be women that have a mass exodus for this sort of thing with clocks, is , they set the clock so that its fast, so that when you get up you think your late for work or your appointment, and your not, your actually ten minutes early or on time, whats that all about, why not just get up at the right time anyway !
    BTW Nedlamar i'd go with the alien thing aswell, sounds much neater, nad puts a bit of mystery into the equation ! :cool

    One's internal body clock is lot more accurate than most of us think. And, as said, you can program, whether intentionally or otherwise, your mental habits.

    lmao my wife.....well g/f does that, our bedroom clock is set 28 minutes fast lol, I don't know why.
    Now I must admit I set the clock in my car 4 minutes fast but I do that mainly to avoid different clock settings, like if I'm supposed to be somewhere at 9:15 and their clock is 2 minutes faster than mine, my 4 minutes counters it every time.

    @Bill....... Me too man, not if my wife sets the alarm for her, she can set it for 6:30 and I'll wake up after she gets up and reset it for 7:45 and then wake up at 7:43. Or if she's off I will wake up 2 or 3 minutes before it goes off.

    @Tony..........WHAT THE!!!! I find it pretty scary......... you actually noticed that and worked that out lmao
    Actually it could be said that 2009 is a pretty big spread, but I joined in Feb 2009, 02/09.....whoooa.

    Edit: OMG and this post is number 11!!!!! :-D

    Of course there is another school of thought which believes that you should just get out more.....

    Or it could be that the metal bits in your body are picking up the speaking clock. (At the third stroke, it will be time to get out your pit....)

    WOW!! What a weird coincidence. That day was my 44th birthday. If you add four and four together you get er.........eight. That's not right, is it?

    @Joey....Dude, I'm not talking about just 1 clock here, any clock, it even happens when I ask my boss or co-workers what time it is.........but I do need to get out more lol, Doctor just laid me off for at least 3 months and I have a new graphics card and it's -12c outside, so the likelyhood of me leaving the house more is getting slimmer by the day :-D

    @Dawg.......Aliens, definitely.....maybe.....or just the biggest line of coinsidences in history lol

    I got out of a meeting yesterday at 1:21, it was supposed to end at 1:15. No big deal, until I realized that 121 is 11 SQUARED!
    11 days from now will be Valentines.
    The sum of the ages of my son's kids this year will be 11!
    I saw a raven sitting on a utility pole exactly 11 miles from my office this morning!
    It's right now exactly 11 minutes past the half-hour!
    Everywhere I look, I see 11.:-D:-D:-D
    (Nedlamar, are you sorry you ever brought this up or what?):wave

    lmao I guess it's not just me, just so happend I was the only one who noticed.
    Maybe the number eleven is the center of the universe.

    But of course we all know the meaning of life, the universe and everything....is 6x9=42, which has nothing to do with eleven lol......or does it? the word Hitchhiker's has eleven letters :O

    Found this at 7.11
    The Doorway the 11:11
    This can presently be perceived

    as a crack between two worlds.

    It is like a bridge

    which has the inherent potential

    of linking together

    two very different spirals of energy.

    As we unite together as One,

    bringing together our fragments of the key,

    we not only create the key,
    but we make visible the Doorway.

    Thus this bridge functions

    as an invisible door

    or a doorway into the Invisible realm.

    The 11:11 is the bridge

    To an entirely different spiral of evolution.
