Dammit!

*scratches list

Numerologists are anxiously awaiting today, when the digital alignment of ones occurs at 11.11 am, which some believe will lead to unusual events.

I've never understood this logic. Time and date have completely arbitrary starting points, arbitrary lengths of months, and a strange way of repeating the same 1-12 hour intervals twice in a day.

In other words: measuring time is a completely man-made construct. It has no bearing on the realities and fundamentals of the universe as a whole.

It's the equivalent of watching your odometer roll over to 100,000. It might be neat to watch, but ultimately it's a pointless endeavor.

Ultimately though, I don't see why they're preventing people from performing these "strange rituals" within the pyramid. Unless they're performing sacrifice or something, why not let these people perform their superstitious rituals?

Well, then, how about your normal, everyday-type ritual?

now that they've got it closed to the public they can proceed with the ritual. The Old Ones will be pleased.

This

Meh, it's just an inflatable dummy anyway. The real great pyramid is in the US.

/Magnitude, and direction.

fjnorton: But what will I do with the goat?

Hey there copper, Mr. Crime-stopper,
What's wrong with what we're doin'?
We just like to dance in out goat-skin pants
around this ancient ruin

I doubt that, if someone was into numbers that much then they probably wouldn't overlook the "20" in 2011. We have an 11:11 am every year on November 11th!!

I'm performing mine now with coffee, cigarette and fark.

Don't you know numbers have power? Especially when you can tweak those numbers however you'd like (say, by conveniently omitting the "20[00]" part just because it is a convenient shorthand)?

Because cosmic forces bow to human conventionlaziness.

It's important to remember that people are idiots.

Also, it's a historical site, sensitive to body heat and moisture. They limit access to the interior of the majority of sites in Egypt, by charging more and in some cases only allowing a certain number of people a day. So the last thing they want are people hanging out in there doing some mumbo jumbo bullshiat.

Weird. It's almost as if the pyramids were used as a place to perform mumbo jumbo bullsh*t for many years.

veterans day on a pyramid? I don't get it

Have any of these people actually been inside the pyramids? Small quarters, let me tell you. You have to duck-walk for a couple hundred feet, then you just stand there in this tiny room that is wholly unremarkable. I suppose, as long as their party doesn't consist of more than eight or so wackos, they might be able to make use of the space.

WOW! A Dragnet remake reference. That song goes through my head all the time.

/bows down

Darn it, now how will I stop the world ending on 12/12/12 at 12:12?

Because everyone knows the planet cares about how the bugs riding it count the days....

That pyramid is opening!
Which one
The one with the ever widening hole in it!
...
I'm going in, Ma, there's a vacancy!

/obscure?
//a few albums, a lifetime of entertainment.

Okay someone explain to me how the ROMAN DATE of 11-11 in the CHRISTIAN YEAR of 2011 has to do with the pyramids of Egypt?

slept right though 11:11 this morning, don't feel a least bit different. Except really really hungry at this point!
