Interesting Fact - Lucky Day?
On the 8th of August, 2008, an estimated 9,000 couples will be married in China, where the number 8 is considered to be very lucky.
(The number “8″ is considered very lucky in China, something about it sounding like part of the phrase “to get rich” in Mandarin. Although with the cost of weddings being such as they are, I doubt that any of the couples will be getting rich any time soon.)
#IFUpdate - I wonder how they are all doing?

Well I bought a lottery ticket on the 8th and made sure it had the number 8 in it.
