12:12:12 12/12/12 is coming!

We've had one like this every year for the last 11 years, but this will be the last until 2101.


If we last that long.


So, what are you going to do for it?

My wife suggested a 12/12/12 party.

She said she would cook a dozen eggs.
I said I would bring a baker's dozen doughnuts, but the 13 was rejected.

My oldest son is being sworn in to the bar on 12/12/12.

After discussion with a friend, I've decided to celebrate by calculating 12^6 with pencil and paper. Hmm, can I do it in my head...

Oh, forgot to answer the question. I"ll be doing the opposite of rapturing. I suppose it will involve fire and brimstone but I'm not sure if this part of the country has brimstone. We may have to settle for limestone. we've tons of that.

I've based my financial planning on the whole world ending 12/21 so....here's hoping!
