Eight of Eight of Eight


Ten of Ten, recalls perfection and when we think to 8 of 8 of 8 it could be the same too!
Today eight of August 2008 is a lovely day for those who love playing with numbers!
Chinese are in love with and there are strong believes to some numbers, positive or negative! Some of them bode bad news and some other good news!
Although we might be against this type of superstitions and say we trust in god, or humankind's ability as superpower is over than irrational belief arising from ignorance or fear,but we can not deny these sayings spreading around us!
Since couple of weeks ago a lot of young couples in China announced their marriage on this day, because they believe the adoption of three 8 brings luck to their love and life!
In such a good day, Beijing Olympic games officially started and for 15 days, Olympic, Beijing and China would be on top of the news all over the worlds! Needless to say that Chinese are skilled to earn money out of everything and this event is a big fortune for them!
Probably from the beginning, when they choose and pushed to get this games, they concern this date for opening ceremony! At least what we saw was a wonderful opening ceremony on 8 of 8 of 8. Almost a perfect job! Have a look:

Sometimes Superstition could be peaceful too!
