11 is an odd number. It’s one more than ten and it’s also two.Hundreds of athletes have worn the number.
It’s also the name of an epic song by The Grateful Dead. Makemake is the 11th planet from the sun. Eleven also documents two infamous dates in history.
While a day of remembrance, November 11 recalls wars that killed hundreds of millions. The 11th hour is our final chance.
This is an excellent addition to the blog! Thank you.

A few comments:
11 is one more than 10. It is also than 3 in base 2. When you bring up the word “binary” base 2 comes to mind.
Uranus is the 7th planet from the Sun.
“[T]he Ideas of March”? Typo? Autocorrect? Or an intentional change to mean something along the lines of “the thoughts that we have in March”?
If you meant “Ides” then you are referring to a specific day in March that is not the 11th. The Ides of March is March 15th.
My pedantic comments go to 11!

There should be no “than” in “It is also than 3 in base 2”.
I stand corrected on all eleven fronts.

And then 13.
