In case someone doesn't know this, in the US, the date format is usually month-day-year. Thus, the 11-12-13 sequence today.

I'm surprised no group is predicting some catastrophe for today or some amazing celestial events.

No, here it will be 11.12.13.
 
Last year we had the 12/12/12 sequence,which will occur after 1000 years o:)
 
Actually, 11/12/13 was 2000 years ago.
So I guess this is the 2000th anniversary of 11/12/13.
