What's going to happen on March 11th and May 11th? (The Economist)

[CJCRANE]

The Economist magazine cover shows dates on two arrows in front of Alice in Wonderland (bottom right).

Anyone have any ideas what they mean?





NB: this is a special edition, not one of the weekly issues.

1. You have to hope they don't know something we don't.

Missiles and mushroom clouds usually aren't a good sign, either.

4. Alice famously fell down the rabbithole

which is how I feel after watching events unfold predictably and methodically over the last two years.

Also, note the tortoise in the foreground (bottom middle) similar to the symbol of the Fabian Society.

9. That can only mean, the Maryland Terps will win the NCAA BBall tournament!

Woot!

2. I'm just sure that this is the answer.

3. As this is the Economist, perhaps we should look for large put options

happening before these dates.

5. Is Mercury in retrograde those dates?

It was just a while back and I was ready to believe that whole deal but it's not in retrograde any more and I still have weird problems....everything going kerfluey at once...

7. Pretty strange. K&R for more views and may be some insight nt

8. The UK general election is in May

on the 7th though (had to check).

10. How do you know those are dates? Could mean something else.

It is strange that she is the only one facing the other way. How do you even know it is Alice?

13. Looks like the pictures in the books:

11. Isn't 3/11 the date of Fukushima? I can't remember 5/11 but there is something about that date...

12. I thought maybe the FED was meeting

but I guess that is March 17th.

To decide whether to raise interest rates or not.

they say the debt limit will be technically reached on March 15tth.

those were my two guesses. Perhaps something European?

14. I don't know

but Angela Merkel has the illuminati hand signal thing going on there.

[muriel_volestrangler]

15. FWIW, Alice and the Cheshire Cat are there because it's the 150th anniversary

of the publishing of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

Don't know about "11.3" and "11.5"; they don't have to be dates.

Has anyone actually read the issue? It might explain it. Just a thought.
