Well today is 08-08-08.  The Olympics began at 08:08 am this morning.  I understand that the number eight is a lucky number in China.  I’ve always liked the number eight, I thought it was cool that when you put it on its side it represents infinity.  When I buy a lottery ticket I always make sure that one of the numbers that I pick has an eight in it.  Can’t be too lucky of a number, though, I haven’t won any money with it!
