Lucky for some

Saturday, February 16th, 2008

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!
