Answers: 12 animals, 12 deciples, 12 months, a dozen?
The number 12 is strongly associated with the heavens—the 12 months, the 12 signs of the zodiac, and the 12 stations of the Moon and of the Sun. The ancients recognized 12 main northern stars and 12 main southern stars. There are 24 = 2 ′ 12 hours in the day, of which 12 are daytime and the other 12 nighttime. The number 12 is the product of the sacred and the secular (3 ′ 4); it is the sum of the numbers of life and good fortune (5 + 7). It thus incorporates many distinct virtues. In Christianity it is the number of Christ's disciples, and it occurs many other times in the Bible—for example, the Twelve Tribes of Israel. Several cultures have used numbers based on 12 (duodecimal); the 12 inches in a foot are one familiar relic of such a system.
TWELVE: Perfection of government. Twelve is the number of the Church, both the Old Covenant Church of Israel founded by 12 physical fathers (the 12 sons of Israel) and the New Covenant Church founded by 12 spiritual fathers (the 12 Apostles). This number also has a relationship to rule along with multiples of 12.

i think theres something special about all numbers
it seems creepy when you really get into it, but then you have to think about the other numbers too
Have you noticed the number 3. Pirates of the Carribean 3, Rush Hour 3, Shrek 3, Spider Man 3, and Oceans Thirteen all came out in theaters this year. Numbers are all weird sometimes. You are right about the number 12. You just have to look at each number. They are all special.
