Creamtastic The Campaign to Declare 11/11/11 Nigel Tufnel Day [Because It's 11/11/10!]
Posted by Adam Gold on Thu, Nov 11, 2010 at 11:11 AM
OK, frivolous Facebook campaign, I'll bite — even if it's a shit sandwich I'm biting into.
At press time, the 11th second of the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of the 11th year of this young century* is EXACTLY one year away. In a very 2010 move, Facebook users — i.e. almost anyone you know — have launched a campaign to declare 11/11/11 Nigel Tufel Day in hopes of turning the mono-nary calendar date up to ... wait for it ... 11. I guess that's cool. I mean, why not? Right?
With the countdown starting now, I hereby endorse this effort. Like!
In case you're lost:
* Editor's note: For those who say the 21st century began in the year 2000, 2011 is actually the 12th year of this century. For the sake of continuity and to be able to use "11th" five times in one sentence, we used the 21st-century-began-in-2001 model.

Those people who say the 21st century began in 2000 would be wrong. There was no year zero, so we (the users of Gregorigan calendars, by way of Julian) start counting off with the '01s.

I <3 Ashley. It's the reason the film is called 2001: A Space Odyssey, not 2000: A Space Odyssey.
Edit your comment again,editor: That's supposed to be 21st century,NOT 20th.
*facepalm*
I think we, as pundits, should investigate the similitude of words like "eleven" and "elephant", which may help explain why nobody can agree about the whole century thing (they can't see the eleven in the room!)
