Today my students wanted to celebrate the moment, to the second, when this numerological coincidence happened. Some of us just made a little cheer, hurray, to commemorate, the momentous cosmic occasion. Some thought of a wish. Afterward I told them that it seemed to me like a purely conventional coincidence. To begin with, Jesus Christ was born in the year zero, but Jews and Romans, did not use that alien Arab-Indian concept. So at least we are off one year.
Let's not talk about the leap second!
It was fun, though.
BTW, a little baby was born today. We proposed the name, Triple Eleven, for the poor tot.
