Spinal Tap is being honored with its own holiday: "Nigel Tufnel Day," which takes place one day only: Nov. 11, 2011 -- or 11/11/11. Not familiar with the film or the reference to 11? Well, at one moment of the movie, the very dimwitted Tufnel shows off his amps and their dials that are numbered up to 11, a notch higher than typical 1-to-10 amps. They're superior because, after all, "11 is one louder than 10," Tufnel said.
