I'm Not doing anything special.  But found this interesting list.

TWELVE NOTABLE TWELVES 

12 months in a year.

12 hours on a clock face.

12 inches in a foot.

12 strikes to bowl a perfect game.

12 people have walked on the moon.

12 face cards in a deck.

12 days of Christmas.

12 apostles of Jesus.

12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous.

12 jurors in felony trials.

12 signs of the Zodiac.

12 pairs of ribs in most humans.

They say that today is SUPPOSED to be lucky.  HA!!!

The day is just getting started and I've already cleaned up a broken bowl of Lucky Charms that landed there by two kids fighting (only one of them is even mine!).

Yes, this day shall be GREAT!  :/

Oh yes, there's also the pounding headache after fussing at the kids.

I'm SO OVER this whole "carpool mom" thing in the mornings!!!

I read a similar article today. The 12 jurors comes about from a Welsh (I believe) king, who modeled the jurors and judge on Jesus and the apostles (i.e. 12+1).

The clock has 12 hours because one of the ancient civilizations (Egypt? Babylon?) divided the day into 10 hours, plus an hour for dawn and for dusk - 12 hours.

12 inches are used because some of the old counting systems used a base 12 - instead of counting to 10 using fingers and thumbs, they used base 12, counting the first 3 knuckles on a hand with the thumb as the counter - giving a base 12 for ease of use. The term "inch" comes from a latin term for a 12th part. This base 12 system is also why we ended up with 12 signs of the zodiac to correspond to the months.

to add to it, my local running store put on a 12 mile run, on 12-12-12, starting at 12:12:12. If only they had restricted it to only 12 people running a 12 min/mile pace

Unfortunately I could not make it with this little work thing...

. Were there 12 Lucky Charms' marshmallows that only had to be picked up? If so, then that would have been just freaky.
