First of all: I don't recall similar mood for last occasions like 11.11.11 or 5.5.5.
Second: It is year
2012 not
12. I understand that some shops here (Poland) make promotions and people behave on these like those additional 2 millennia have never happened but it is still 2012.
I saw words like "similar thing will happen in next 1000 years" somewhere which is mathematically wrong:
- if you allow to cut thousands off - it will happen in about next 900 years,
- if you cut hundreds too (and get 12) - it will be in about next 90 years?
Or we can cut even more and leave only last digits. It would give us so many occasions to be better people
