We all know and respect the 11th of November as Remembrance Day, the day when we honour those brave servicemen and women who gave their lives defending our country. This year, the 11th of November falls in the 11th year of the century. 11/11/11. The first century of every thousand years is the only time we really have licence to shorten the year to the last two digits. In a hundred years time, 2111, it just seems wrong that we would abbreviate the year to 11.
So to celebrate this momentous once in a millennia occasion, CartridgeMonkey have decided to bring you 11 interesting facts about the number 11.

Jezebel.com has reported that the Dutch installation artist, Florentijn Hofman, has created a giant sculpture of a monkey in Sao Paolo, Brazil.
The giant installation is called Macaco Gordo in Portuguese, which translates as The Fat Monkey. But the Fat Monkey is not just like CartridgeMonkey after too many bananas. He is 45 feet long and is constructed entirely out of 10,000 pairs of brightly coloured flip flops.

Let’s be honest, if our printer could really churn out money at the press of a button, we’d be buying printer ink cartridges by the dozens, and at Cartridge Monkey’s low prices, we’d save even more of our manufactured money to spend on ourselves.
