It's like a strong magnet for me its horizontal and verical symmetry. I dunno why, but I really addcted to 11. That's why I've found this entry in google. And I have to say it was interesting to read this one. Cheeers. As for me number 11 have been my fav one for a couple of years. It’s like a strong magnet for me its horizontal and verical symmetry.

At 11 am on 11 November 1918 the guns of the Western Front fell silent after more than four years continuous warfare. The moment when hostilities ceased on the Western Front became universally associated with the remembrance of those who had died in the war.

I have been wondering about 11 1/2 since I saw the film last week. As well as the comments listed by other posters, Ned Plimton has been a member of the Zissou society since 11 1/2. Also, Steve Zissou's favorite age (and one he perhaps never grew out of?) was 11 1/2. Also "Steve Zissou" and "Ned Plimpton" contain eleven letters each. I'm also inclined to agree with the James Joyce theory. I’m glad someone else noticed this! I have been wondering about 11 1/2 since I saw the film last week.

Also, I am not sure but I think there are 11 people in the yellow submarine at the end of the movie. Coincidentally, 11 is my favorite number and Wes Anderson is my favorite director.

R.A.W simply chose to use 23 as an example of this phenomena.
