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.

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

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?

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

Yes, in China this date does.

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