The Power of Numbers is on your side today: it’s 08-08-08, and the start of the Beijing Olympic Games. Superstitious? You’re not alone:
Chinese people traditionally attach meaning to numbers based on their pronunciation. The number four is considered to be unlucky because it sounds like "death" but eight is a lucky number because it rhymes with the word for "fortune". The telephone number 8888-8888 was sold for USD$270,723 in Chengdu, China and the Beijing Olympics officially began today at 08:08:08p.m. local time. Fortune, people... fortune. We will not be offended if you close this window to go register immediately for your next tournament.
And good luck to all our Olympic athletes! In honor of the Games, here’s a quick Olympic Quiz:
Q: Which one of these sports is not recognized by the
International Olympic Committee (IOC)? :
a) Bridge
b) Boules
c) Orienteering
d) Korfball
e) Rollerskating
f) Fishing
The answer is f) Fishing. Who says the IOC is out of touch?
