Veterans Day, Publius Enigma, Moneybomb, & Pink Floyd

As a Ron Paul supporter, and a Pink Floyd fan, tomorrow is a special day for me.

There is a Pink Floyd riddle that has not been solved since its discovery in 1994. There have been few clues given, but it seems to be a numbers riddle that revolves around 11, or 11:11.

The Publius Enigma is a mystery involving a riddle proposed in connection with the 1994 Pink Floyd album The Division Bell. It originated on the Internet as a Web-based contest implemented to promote the album and its tour, possibly an early example of viral marketing. It remains unclear whether or not the enigma is a genuinely solvable puzzle, as certain details regarding the true nature of the challenge have never been revealed. The consensus is that it was eventually abandoned by its creators, and the matter has not been brought to an official conclusion.

11:11
There are notable instances of either coincidence or synchronicity regarding the number 11 and the 11:11 phenomenon that can be related not only to Pink Floyd and The Division Bell, but also to the enigma:

The page numbers of The Division Bell's CD booklet are written in various languages and printed on silhouettes of the head statues shown on the cover of the album. Page 11 shows two head silhouettes. Printed on either one is the German word for eleven, "elf", resulting in "elf elf", or, "eleven eleven". The artwork on this page is for the song "A Great Day for Freedom",



the lyrics of which reference the end of World War I (Armistice Day, 11 November 1918) as well as the fall of the Berlin Wall, which had already begun by 11 November 1989

11 November is the birthday of Polly Samson's son, Charlie. Samson is married to David Gilmour and co-authored much of the lyrics for the album. Charlie's voice can be heard in a telephone conversation at the end of the last track.

The trailer for the film 11:11 features the song "High Hopes", the 11th track on The Division Bell.

The release date of David Gilmour's On an Island, 6 March 2006.(also David Gilmour's birthday), is exactly 11 years and 11 months after the US release date of The Division Bell, 5 April 1994.

On 11 June 1994, Publius made his first enigma post to the Pink Floyd newsgroup. 11 years later, on 11 June 2005, Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Nick Mason, and Richard Wright agreed to reunite as Pink Floyd for Live 8. During the broadcast (and as seen on the Live 8 DVD), the band took the stage just shortly after 11:00 p.m., and by 11:11, Pink Floyd were playing together as a four-man lineup for the first time in 24 years.

11:11 is the name of an album by Rodrigo y Gabriela. Track 11 of this album, also titled "11:11", is credited as being "inspired by Pink Floyd".

Tomorrow, IS 'A Great Day For Freedom,' and I will be excited to donate $11.11 as many times as I can. (I think I'll only be able to do that twice though).

Icing on the cake would be some Pink Floyd in the news.
