    Someone should put a note in at 8:88 am!!
    
    JO'R

    ... and remembr:
    
    it will be 11 years, 1 month and 1 day before:
    
    9/9/99
    
    Steve Kallis, Jr.

    Were you there when Cold-Rolled said
    
    		5/5/55 or 6/6/66 or 7/7/77?

        Some people believe these fortuitous dates only happen every
        eleven years or so, but note well that after 9/9/99, the next
        is 1/1/1, then 2/2/2, then 3/3/3, etc.  And if you insist on
        waiting until the last two digits of the year match up, what
        about 10/10/10, 11/11/11, and 12/12/12?

	That will happen twice today!

    And just think, today's my birthday!  Am I lucky or what?

        And not only that, but when you wrote it, your reply was "8 of 8".

    FERGIES BABY BORN 8/8/88 AT 8:18.
    
    TOP THAT!!!!!!!

    On the news last night...baby born 8/8/88 8:08, 8th delivery for
    the doctor who also has 8 children of his own (there may have been
    more but how much do you want?) Does that top it?
    
    /tb/
    

    Baby weighed 8 lb., 8 oz. which should top it...

    I THINK THEY JUST PASS AS TOPPING IT BUT ONLY BY A FLEAS BREATH.

    On 5/5/55 I was crunched by a Buick while riding my bike and layed
    around in a plaster nightie for 4 months.  Yesterday I didn't come
    to work.

    I heard a story on the radio yesterday morning of a couple in a
    town called Eighty-Eight, Kentucky (supposedly a real town) who
    had plans to get married at 8 minutes past 8 PM on 8/8/88, something
    about inviting 88 guests, and the wedding party was scheduled to
    arrive at the ceremony riding in (you guessed it) Delta 88's!  I
    think there were a few more 8's in there but I don't remember.
    
    What some folks will do for attention...

    When I was playing baseball,  I played in a doubleheader on 7/7/77,
    wearing #7, and batting 7th in the order.   I played one game in
    Left Field (which is abbreviated numerically as the `7' position).
    The second game started at 7:07.
    
    Lucky numbers?    Not for me:    I went 0-for-7.

    Another story that goes with 8/8/88 is related to betting and horse
    racing.  I went to the track and bet 8$ on horse number 8 in the
    8th race.  It finished 8th.  :-(

    In the same race, the winner was at 8 to 1 odds...
    I heard it on the news.

    I don't know why I am asking this question, but what the hell, here it
    goes. 
    
    Can someone explain to me what this topic has to do with ``digital
    way of working''?  Or moderators are immune from following the rules
    which they have set up for the conference?
    
    If you know me, you would realize that this reply was posted in
    jest even though you might not see the smiley faces.

    In oriental culture, the 8th day of the 8th month is considered
    aspicious and lucky. Most Japanese swords that bear dates are dated
    the 8th day of the 8th month. We have a short blade dated August
    8th, 1636. Relatively new.
    
    Keeping with that tradition, we staked our new home last August
    8th. 
    

    RE: .20
    
    Since this subject is still alive, let me add my $.02 too.  In _some
    other_ oriental culture (e.g Hindu) number 9 is considered aspicious
    and lucky.
    
    So you can fully count on me to enter a topic in this conference on
    September 9, 99.  And if the moderator(s) tries to jump on my back, I
    will raise bloody hell :-)

        With luck, we and the conference will still be here then for
        your enjoyment and edification..

    33 years to the one after 9/9/99.  In 11 years we will probably
    be beating up the "Turn of the Century at Digital".  Should we wait?
    

    Re: .23
    
    Not so - only two years - 1/1/1.  Twelve years if you insist on
    1/1/11.

>>    Twelve years if you insist on 1/1/11.

    Or even 11/11/11.

                       -> No Such Luck >-
    
    8/8/88 Bah Humbug!!
    
    I had an car accident ... $1600.00 worth of damage ... I guess its
    better than $1800.00 ... :-{

    much better than $8,888.88!
    

    Re. .26
