Today is 08-08-08 and the start of the Olympics in Beijing, China. The people of Chine chose to begin the Olympic Games today (08-08-08) at 8:08pm because 8 is a very lucky number for the Chinese. I found myself wondering what was so special about the number 8 and came across this very inetresting article which I have cut&paste for you below. So enjoy the article, enjoy this special day and enjoy the magic of these very lucky olympic games.
When you think of 8-8-8, what comes to your mind?
8-8-8 fertilizer versus a 13-13-13 fertilizer comparison?
8-8-8 is also August 8, 2008 which is the opening night for the 2008 Olympics
For the Chinese, the number 8 is considered lucky just like the number 7 is considered lucky in North America. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that the Olympic games in China start on Friday August 8, 2008 or 08/08/08.
In China you have to pay extra to have the number 8 in your phone number or license plate. In addition, home and business owners like to have the number 8 in their civic address.
If you turn the number eight 90 degrees horizontally, it becomes “infinity” in math or “eternity” philosophy. In Chinese Astrology, perfect balance is considered the ideal.
You can slice the number 8 in half vertically or horizontally, and both halves mirror themselves perfectly. Again, perfect symmetry lends itself to perfect balance.
The number 8 in Chinese is pronounced “baat” and sounds like “faat” meaning “prosperity” or “wealth”
As well, 88 means “double wealth” or “double prosperity”.
The number 4 is pronounced “sei” and it resembles the word “death”. 44 is super unlucky as it means “double death”.
The number 4 is unlucky just like number 13 in North America. It is not uncommon to see no 4th floor in Vancouver or Richmond Condos and high rises, but you do see number 13. In fact, you don’t see floors 14, 24, and 34!
The number 14 is considered to be one of the unluckiest numbers in Chinese culture, as it is literally translated to “ten die” or “want to die?”.
Perhaps on your next wedding gift to a Chinese couple, you should give $88.88? Or, better yet, $8888 if you can afford it!
IF YOUR LIFE WAS A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE? So, here's how it works: 1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc) 2. Put it on shuffle 3. Press play 4. For every question, type the song that's playing 5. When you go to a new question, press the next button 6. At the end decide the name of your movie after you get your soundtrack 7. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool...
I did this twice on Myspace, now I get to do it again!!!!

So there is this movie coming out called "the astronaut farmer" ok whatever.... it seems like a pretty lame idea but I'll deal with it.... what I can't deal with is this movie poster. All I can say is... if the astronaut needs a space suit (probably for breathing) why doesn't the horse need one?
I forgot how hot early Springsteen was... and this song makes me want to rip my clothes off, It's a very passionate lustful song... "At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet and a freight train running through the middle of my head, only you can cool my desire; I'm on fire."
Christmas is sometimes shortened to Xmas, an abbreviation that has a long history.[5] In early Greek versions of the New Testament, the letter Χ (chi), is the first letter of Christ (Χριστός). Since the mid-sixteenth century Χ, or the similar Roman letter X, was used as an abbreviation for Christ.[6]
