language to decimal to hexadecimal conversion
Disregaring the origion of the date, is this not at least a rarity???
On this site: http://www.greatdreams.com/2012.htm
They say that the Mayan calendar ends on December 21, 2012. Furthermore, they say it happens at 11:11am.
I took Dec. 21/2012 and made it 12/21/2012. If you put 11:11 in front of that, you get 11:11/12/21/2012. I Changed that to 111112212012. I then converted 111111212012 to HEX, and the result is:
19DECDCE2C
Is it just me or does it seem awfully coincidental that the Hexadecimal outcome is almost the exact day of the origional decimal number?

Ooohh ...
Dec ==> Hex
111112000000 => 19DECA9200
If you had the time you could probably play with the "000000" part to come up with even more amazing stuff.
