Interesting things about the number 8

The classic pool hall game 8 ball - in my humble opinion, only suitable for frat houses and people that don't play real cough*9-ball*cough pool.

8th grade, that horrendously awkward year, like when girls suddenly start to, like matter to boys and like, boys so start to totally, like be soooo immature.

Spiders have 8 legs. So do octopusses.

8 is the atomic number of oxygen, something I think we all like very much.

There are 8 Beatitudes.

8 notes to a scale, which creates an octave. In music, whenever an arranger wants a lot of pop and power out of the orchestra or choir on a particular melody, they will arrange it so that each part is sung on the octave nearest them.

At Christmas time, there are 8 maids-a-milking.

8 is the number designation for the center fielder in baseball.

Most computers, especially older ones, were/are built on 8 bit architecture.

8 bits equals a byte.

8 furlongs to a mile (it was a physics question last semester that stuck)

It's the 2nd number in this sequence - 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42. (If you know, you know.)

8 years and 7 days ago, my wife graduated college.

8 years ago today, we said I do.

And we have for 8 years.

Happy anniversary Babe!

Well - unless we plan on adopting the local little league baseball team I don't see that happening in the near future. Mom will have her hands full with our baseball team and your quintuplets. :)
