Wooo!

Eleven facts about the number eleven:

1. Elven is the same word, but with that extra E removed. That third E, who does E think E is, anyway?

2. Eeleeveen is a pretty dumb word; let's not use it

3. The mysterious and powerful character Eleven is a central figure in the popular Netflix show "Stranger Things".

4. The word "eleven" comes from the Old English "ęndleofon", meaning "one left" (after counting to ten).

5. The Canadian one-dollar coin, nicknamed the "Loonie", has eleven sides.

6. WWI ended on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. They couldn't wait until 2011, though, so they did all this in 1918, kind of destroying the poetry of the moment

7. Apollo 11 was a thing

8. 11 is prime.

9. eleven is a palindrome

10. Spinal Tap goes to eleven

11. There are eleven "facts" on this list

Congrats!
