08.08.08 08/08/08

[xUKHCx]

Did anyone get up to look at the clock this morning? I have to say I did :o:)

If you missed it there is a further chance to see it tonight at, yes you guessed it, 08.08.08pm although for the purists its not the same as it will be 20.08.08 on the 24 hour clock.

I was going to try and post at that time but was too busy staring at my clock to remember.

The Americans/Canadians/South American/Others still have the chance to view it due to timezones.

Remember though that in the US it will be 08/08/08 rather than 08/08/08.

[kretzy]

I forgot to look at the clock...at 8.08am I was still sleeping and at 8.08pm I was watching So You Think You Can Dance. :o

[BlakTornado]

I was sleeping that early in the morning D:

but alas there is tonight!

[scotthayes]

Typical students... Still in your pit at 08:08am :D ...

I was on my way to work. So I spent 08:08:08 08/08/08 listening to Mike Parry on Talksport doing press ups while singing the Chinese National Anthem in English.

It just doesn't look right as 08/08/08 instead of 08/08/08. Silly Americans.

I think you made a typo in the second date, it should be 08/08/08.

[evilgEEk]

How's this for timing...

I clicked in to this thread and started reading it, and only then did I look up at the title bar of my phone and saw the time: 8:08. :D

Too bad I didn't take a screen shot of it. :(

[nomar383]

Ugh! You funky UK people and your stupid dates. Just stop it. This is the correct way to simplify August 8, 2008: 08/08/08!

I graduated a couple of weeks back so no longer a student. I was, in fact, getting up to take the puppy out for a walk. :)

[Rhosfelt]

Damn I use Military time :(

Very good point - I know a lot of countries write it as 08/08/08 instead

Yep, the 6, 8's!

8th day, 8th month, 8th year, 8th hour, 8th minute and 8th second.

Pretty darn cool!

Next time will be all 9's. :)

I am looking forward to this one:

11/11/11 @ 11:11.11

Now that will be cool. :D

[nomar383]

[JML42691]

Damn, I missed the real one this morning, I guess I can settle for the fake one tonight.

*Goes to make an iCal calendar for 09/09/09 09:09:09*

[kwood]

I was awake for it and staring at the clock, although I didn't realize it was 08.08.08 08/08/08. Sadly I have an injury and haven't really been able to get a decent night's sleep in weeks. So I was staring at the clock wondering why if I am tired why I was still awake. :p Frustrating but at least I know I was able to "accomplish" something.

Not a bad idea! :)

[Antares]

Well, we can technically continue events like this every year until 12/12/12...which, coincidentally, the world is supposed to end around then anyway (according to the Mayans)....so there will be no point continuing after that.

At least 08/08/08 isn't hellish like 06/06/06 was.

[TEG]

I would just like to ask everyone to do one thing today...

Aw, that's a shame.

Then you'll also miss 12:34:56 7/8/90 in Europe too!

(you might still make 1:23:45 6/7/89 though, in US and Europe?)

[Sideonecincy]

Days like these freak me out...its like friday the 13th but worse and all the weird things will happen today.

I suspect there will be a lot of weddings today, hard to forget what your anniversary was, haha.

as a purist, one can say it's 2008, not 08 a.d.

[raggedjimmi]

I was up at half 9 so I missed it, and the (fake) evening one too. Meh, there's always all-9's next year, next month, next day, next hour, next minute away.

[xUKHCx]

There was a short article in the Times the other day saying that because the number 8 is deemed luck in China that the registray office has cut the length of a wedding ceremony from 10 minutes to 60 seconds so they can have approximately 16000 weddings. I don't know what was actually achieved.

Wow, does luck really mean that much to people?

Someone told me it was national roundabout day? :confused:

[kabunaru]

Well, Russia attacked Georgia (country) on August 8, 2008. Not exactly a lucky day for the Georgians.

What about you guys? Has anything out of the ordinary has happened to you on August 8th, 2008?

Interesting.

My favorite is still: 11/11/11 @ 11:11.11

All ones! :)

Yes, in China this date does.

[iJohnHenry]

Yes, in China this date does.

Yes, and sadly, in spite of their contributions to modern society, superstition still pervades much of their life.
