What's up with the number Twelve?

Very interesting! Perhaps one of your 12x12 words should be "Twelve"
My list looks a lot the same. There's also
the 12 labors of Hercules,
12 inches in a foot,
12 imams in Shi'a Islam,
the 12th Night,
12 sons of Jacob,
12 principle Olympians,
Force 12 (strongest hurricanes),
the Dirty Dozen,
12 Cylons in human form and the 12 tribes of Kobol (OK those last two are really just reimaginings of the 12 signs of the zodiac, but I'm a dork so they're on my list),
12 dozen in a gross,
and 12 is the atomic number of Magnesium.
And yet, i'm still not sure what I'll do.
love your ideas ladies! I will have my thinking cap on and thing up at least 3 of my own!
