Anyone know why the Olympic Games start on 8th August this year? That means it will be the 8th day of the 8th month of the 8th year of this millennium.
For the Chinese 8 is a lucky number, and 888 even more so. So it can hardly be coincidental that the Beijing Olympics start on 08/08/08!
December is the 12th month of the year, coming from the Latin decem meaning “ten” because it was the 10th month of the Roman year. Hmmm.

What’s the most times you can repeat the same word consecutively in a sentence and still retain meaning? Here’s a sentence with 7 words in a row. Any more?
It remains true for all that that that that that that that refers to is not the same that that that that refers to.
