Friday is Nigel Tufnel day?

Does this name have significance to you?  If it does not, here's your homework. You'll be a better person after watching it.

Spinal Tap is the semi-fictitious group that was celebrated with the movie 'This is Spinal Tap' in the mid 80's.  Among the many quotable moments in the movie, the character Nigel Tufnel may have the most memorable.  So...with Friday being 11/11/11 of course there is a Facebook movement to have it declared 'Nigel Tufnel day'.  Who says the youth of today don't have their heads in the right place?
