Jason: Oh, my! Will you look at the time! We're just moments away from 11:11:11 o'clock! Every digit will be a one! So simple! So elegant! So tidy and neat! And if you add on today's date, there'll be even MORE ones... 11:11:11 11/11/12! Bummer about that two at the end, though. It kinda ruins something that would be perfect otherwise. You know, I'll bet little things like that drive some people up a wall. Andy: I think Jason overheard me talking to that therapist. Roger: How'd you get up THERE?

Cute one, Wolind Quark. 10 in binary or base 2 is 2. I know someone who didn’t understand how 1s and 0s could be interpreted to more than just two choices or values, until I explained that they’re allotted groups of eight, called bytes, which give you a lot more values (256).

It’s “terabyte”, and after that is petabyte. Just want everyone to have the same information…. Oh, and Quark, that joke is funny, but getting worn out.

The holiday period between Halloween and Christmas is especially hard on people who forget what number base they’re using because OCT 31=DEC 25.

The standard in almost all of the world is to put the units of time in decreasing order, just as we write numbers. I still remember fondly that wonderful day, 2001-10-02, the first palindrome day since 1380-08-31. There will never be another time like 1111-11-11 11:11:11, and I’ll bet nobody appreciated it at the time.

I’m glad to see “BC” writers Mastroianni and Hart haven’t forgotten … but nearly every cartoonist has decided their strips are too important for posting Remembrance/Armistice/Veterans Day accolades in. SHAME ON YOU BILL!
