Title: Every time I look at the clock, it's 9:11
Post by: Don Flamenco on August 26, 2009, 11:13:37 PM: This has been going on for about a year. In the morning and at night, I always look at the clock when it's 9:11. It started out as a joke-- "oh shit, it's 9:11, bad omen!" and at 9:12 "now I'm living in a post-9:11 world."

Am I going to die? are the world's smallest terrorists going to fly the world's smallest plane into my head and destroy my brain? is my brain just doing some confirmation bias shit (psychology majors, halp)?

Pre-9/11, everyone seemed to be seeing 8:11. Go figure.

Ugh, sometimes it feels like the internet is running in circles, and I've been watching it too long.
