8-8-8-8-8

Yesterday morning, around 8 am, I checked my time, and it was eight minutes after eight am on the eigth day of the eigth month of the eigth year into the 20th century following the death of Christ.  This made me very hungry so I went str8 to the kitchen and 8 breakfast.  The Chinese chose that d8 to open the Olympic games in Beijing..  I forgot to play the lottery.  My wife heard on TV that a child was born at 8:08 am whose w8 was 8 pounds and 8 ounces.  This probably the eigth time I've told this story.  W8 a while, and I'll tell it again.  All in all, it was a gr8 day for me, and I hope yours was gr8 also.
