WW1 ended on the 11th of the 11th of the 11th because originally most wars ended at 12, they stopped at 11 because they believed that no war could possibley be any worse and as a result changed the times to ry and mark it differently as a milestone for a lasting and tolerant peace... not because they were trying to be artistic with the bodycount.
