"It's Veterans Day," Kyra said.  People around the world have made special plans for Friday. Think of when the clock strikes 11:11:11 on 11/11/11. A perfect palindrome -- the time and date reading the same backwards and forwards -- and the only double-figure palindromic date.  And 11/11/11 won't come around again for another 100 years.  Wake Forest University Physicist Eric Carlson, who studies numbers as a hobby, said the date has no significance other than its numeric perfection, marred only by the use of all four numbers of the year 2011. Consider the uniqueness of the day in 1111.  The way Carlson looks at it, people can take whatever they want from the date.  "I have no problem with Americans celebrating the day," he said. Just like he did on the day he turned 1 billion -- seconds, that is. Only a numbers guru would do something like that.  If some folks consider 11 lucky, so be it. Just as 13 (the number of people present at the Last Supper before Jesus' death) is thought of as unlucky. But it's still just a number. You might not want to sit on the 13th row in an airplane, but would you turn down the 13th roll in a baker's dozen?  Carlson said part of the reason times and dates are heightened in people's minds is because of the digital age -- phone numbers, passwords, PINS. So many numbers to remember.  "Such phenomena involving numbers have become much more prominent," he said.  And human brains are naturally inclined to look for patterns. If you look at an analog clock, you might not notice 11:11 as much as you would on a digital one with four lighted numerals, all the same, staring at you.  "These patterns stick in our minds," Carlson said. "But I don't think there is any mystical significance to it."  But if you ask Daniel Hardt, president of Life Path Numerology Center in Indianapolis, 11/11/11 is sure to be different.
In the middle of cake and presents last year, Lynsie Schuman had a revelation about her twins. They were destined to celebrate their golden birthday on a special day -- "ones" in a lifetime, so to
