I think that the reason we see so many patterns in numbers is because we only have 10 digits to use. I bet these patterns wouldn't show up so much if we had 20 fingers to count on and 20 different numbers to use. What about the 2 fingered aliens who count in binery? they must see 1111 all the time.
(after thought) umm no that wouldn't work, they would have to be aliens with two tenticles for arms to count in binery wouldn't they.

Seriously though. the human brain is great at noticing patterns like that and picking them out of the random garp. Here is my theory on 11:11.
You probably look at a clock many times a day. When you do, part of your brain uses that info to tell you what time it is. When 11:11 pops up, not only does the timetelling part of your brain fire, but also the pattern recognition part, so in theory, you are actually using more of your brain when looking at this number than others that appear on the clock. This is the case only with digital clocks. You hardly ever notice 11:11 on an analog clock.
That is my theory.

There are actually several threads on this. Yet another example of how the boolean search won't hit against things I know are out there. I tried it 9 ways to Sunday and couldn't get them to come up.
SO! If somebody jumps your butt about starting this - tell 'em I said - YOU FIND THE OLD THREADS!

infinite, thanks. So is binary analog? That would explain why
the U.S. will not adopt the metric system. It's just too expensive.
I'm ranting...

Binary is based on two numbers, 1 and 0. On or off. This is the language that computers use at their core.
Analog refers to any type of non-digital display, such as a clock that has hands that move around it, or a speedometer that has all the speeds on it and a needle that points to your speed and moves up and down through that range as your speed changes.
