Today is 080808. This first decayed decade of the new age has only one year left, so when we have 090909 that will be all. That will be two days before the eighth anniversary of 911. The Chinese think that 8 is a magic number. The Olympics started at 8:08 on 080808. I seldom watch tv, so an Olympic boycott is moot for me. The human rights abuses are really bad, but I keep on buying the product of those nasty factories. I just might be complicit. I hear the Chinese are leading lenders for our national debt. That might be like buying whiskey for an alcoholic. All of us are in the gutter, but some of us are looking at stars. Twelve years ago, the Olympics came to Atlanta. While not a perfect event, this was the nicest I have ever seen the people of this city. We went back to our nasty selves soon enough. Back to the number eight. It is a dandy digit. It is two cubed, and in some number systems is the same as 100. It is the infinity symbol at a ninety degree angle, and two hundred seventy degrees. With the advent of text messaging, 8 is a very handy symbol. It sounds just like “ate”. You can use it to say str8, c8ter, and m8. Isn’t that gr8?
