    It's Rememberance Day in many countries. At 11am, pause for a minute and consider those who died in WWI, and the futility of war.

    it's a day where single people can share a pocky stick ( we call them peppero) with their crush in hopes of hitting it off. Its like a corporate sponsored Valentine's day :D

    Skrillex is an 'music' producer who produces 'music' in a genre called 'dubstep'

    It is hard to explain what dubstep sounds like to someone from another country but I'll try my best.

    Imagine a beautiful song. Now try to imagine if someone with a chainsaw ran into the recording booth just after the first verse and just started ruining everyones day. Imagine what the carnage of this rampage would sound like and imagine the song ending with the singers moans of pain. This may sound horrible but it is preferable to dubstep.

    Dubstep is God weeping.

    tenglang - I'm an Aussie.

    Flibble - do you think the Gough disaster is where it all started going wrong? Was he the last statesman we had in office (Does Rudd count)?

    It is a Chinese word. :)
    Thanks for your reply.

    Actually,it is named "One's Day" because of Arabic number "1".
    1-1 (January 1st) is named Small One's Day.
    11-1(November 1st) is named Middle One's Day.
    11-11(November 11th) is named Large One's Day.
    2011-11-11(2011-November 11th) is named Large Large One's Day.
    It seems that it began from the year of 1990.(from Campuses in Nanjing,China)

    My friends came over to my place last night and we celebrated 11/11/11 by eating food with 11 on them and watching movies with 11 in the title. And then we cheered when it hit 11:11 p.m. lol I know, my friends and I are weird.
