Zagreb, Croatia

It's All Saints Day and these two look like saints to me. So, let's begin the most perpendicular of all months, 11/11, on the streets of Zagreb with two nuns who seem happy to be imitating the number eleven. I wonder if they are aware of what's coming on the eleventh day of the eleventh month of the eleventh year: the holiday of Perpendicularis Major. [2008]

  1. Perpendicular Minor: that's today 11/1/11 and last January 1/11/11. Five perpendicular digits each.

  2. Good to know what this is called! I pointed out the date to my daughter when she was doing her homework last night as something unique and special, but I didn't know the proper name.
