    History of the Armistice On the morning of 11 November 1918, allied and German officials signed the Armistice, a formal agreement to cease the hostilities of the First World War. When the agreement came into effect at 11.00 am, the guns of the Western Front fell silent for the first time in more than four years. With the fighting on the front lines suspended, the two sides could work towards a peace settlement and negotiate the treaties that would officially end the First World War—most notably the Treaty of Versailles which was signed on 28 June 1919. Armistice Day The signing of the Armistice was such a momentous event that its anniversary—the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month—quickly became a key date of commemoration around the world, known as Armistice Day. The tradition of stopping at 11 am started on the very first Armistice Day in 1919 and continues to this day. It was initially suggested by an Australian journalist living in London, and was made official with a proclamation by King George V. His Majesty requested that “...all locomotion should cease, so that, in perfect stillness, the thoughts of everyone may be concentrated on reverent remembrance of the glorious dead.” Source: anzac100.initiatives.qld.gov.au/remembranceday/stop-and-r...

    Actually I think this is a ceremony when crossing the international date line from east to west. The day changes and the 'uninitiated' who have never crossed over are called "polywogs" and are subject to mocking and mock torture (water hose treatment and blindfolded and forced to place hands in spaghetti, etc.
