  • REV. ANDRE G. DENIS D.D. Once-in-a-lifetime 12/12/12 date spawns mass weddings, superstitions. From India to Las Vegas, superstitious lovebirds and numbers geeks are reveling in a once-in-a-lifetime event: the date 12/12/12. That means one last chance for couples to get hitched on such an easy-to-remember wedding date (read: anniversary date). For professional numerologists Swetta Jumaani 12/12/...
    12 isn't just a cool repetition of digits or a lucky day for lovers. According to numerology, 12 is considered a "three" number because the digits add up to three. Halfway across the world in Alabama, Kiam Moriya will turn 12 on 12/12/12 -- at exactly 12:12 p.m., "It's like one minute out of a whole lifetime," Kiam told the news site. "You know, it's all 12s." Wednesday also marks a milestone for the Vatican, where Pope Benedict XVI sent his first official tweet to the world.
    It's unclear whether the pope chose 12/12/12 for the digits or for some other reason. But more than 600,000 followers waited to see what message @Pontifex would offer in 140 characters or less.
    Despite the weddings, superstitions and inaugural papal tweet, underwhelmed Twitter users griped about all the brouhaha.
