Since it's 11/11/11:

11/11/11 squared is a palindrome - 111111 x 111111 = 12345654321.

I don't even have the clocks in my house at the same time. My alarm is 10 minutes ahead. The kitchen clock is aways at 10:50. Good time for either am or pm. :beaten:

While sitting at a chair, make clockwise circles with your right foot.

While doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand.

Your foot will change direction.

^ One not so random fact, no spamming allowed. :shakehead:

Here is a bit of a random fact, today 7/23/15, nine years to the day from when the "zealous moderator" arrived, it appears Genma has gone back to having to add the new dramas. Took you guys a lot longer to figure her out then I thought. I knew what she was really like back in 2011.

Kind of sad in a way. She's not a bad person, just needs to learn you don't ignore other people and only be concerned with your own little world.
