    Just as an interesting aside to all this number malarky:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_problem

    If you have 23 random people in a room, there is a 50% chance that two of them will share a birthday. What we think of as random coincidence or a sign, is just probability at work.

    Aint numbers great.

    Just thought I'd report that last night I had the book-closing at 111 experience again, and the 11.11 on the clock has happened every single day since I last posted, but that is so routine it's not even surprising anymore. Today I had to come in late to work and looked at the digital clock in the car when I pulled up, and yeah, wouldn't you know, 11.11!

    I even tried turning my clock around a few nights back thinking that maybe I was seeing this out of the corner of my eye and it was registering on an unconcious level causing me to look, but no, when I turned the clock around to check the time getting in to bed it was 11.01. Forgot to set the alarm and turned it back around a little later and it was 11.11.

    Lately there are just feckin one's everyplace!!! :D

    I really reckon it's mostly just a body clock thing for the clock stuff. I have a weird body clock and can usually predict the time with an error margin of a few seconds to up to about 5-6 minutes (e.g. if I set a timer for, say, an hour, I usually react a few seconds before the timer goes off, even if it's nowhere in sight). I reckon the 11:11 business is just a variation of Pavlov's Dogs paired with the body clock.

    Ask 'it', who or whatever is doing it, for a different number. Seriously. See if it changes. :)

    I'd be inclined to agree with you Liah but for the fact that it pops up in other ways that have nothing to do with my body clock :confused:

    I have been waking up the last few nights at 2.45 or 3.45 then I will wake again about two hours later and its always at .45.

    I only fully registered this morning that I woke up twice last night 2.45 and 5.45 and then woke up fully at 7.45!! so .45 is my thing at the moment :)
