The 11:11 Phenomenon 11-11-11

The 11:11 phenomenon is a strange coincidence of people across the globe seeing the numbers 11:11 everywhere they look. Some psychologists believe the 11:11 phenomenon is the product of the human mind finding meaning in the meaningless, but others see it as a sign of something. One theory is that spiritual guides, perhaps guardian angels, are directing the attention of some to the numbers for a significant reason, perhaps a warning. Thus, today's news wire seems extra special. Hey, but don't think you're in the clear once the clock strikes midnight tonight, because 11/11 could theoretically apply across the current month, not just for the day 11/11/11, which we mark today.
