The eighth day of the eight month of the eighth year (8/08/2008) is considered so lucky, that China selected it as opening day of the Olympic ceremonies. Thousands of couples are tying the knot today in hopes of good fortune, and in Washington state, a lucky child was born. Maggie May Jones was born at 8:08 a.m. (no kidding) at Tacoma General Hospital. She weighs just over 8 pounds. Her mom, a nurse in Gig Harbor, told KING 5: "We were actually joking about it in the delivery room, the doctor and some nurses and my husband and I are like, wow she could actually be born at eight in the morning or something, and she was born at 8:08."
'Baby eights' born in Tacoma

so what? my son was born at 5:55am in room 555 at Swedish, in the month of May. And get this. Next year he is going to be 5 years old! Freaky.
that was a bit rude, brian... but thats cool about Maggie.
Brian, why are u so bitter and rude???
Someone's child's birthday is 06-07-08 this year! Birthday's like that are KEWL! Brian, what are you, payin' mega child support or somethin' -- or didn't your offspring get any press when it was born? :-)
I think that's cool, good luck to the new mom and dad.
P.S , Brian, your a retard!
It is wonderful to believe in good fortune. I believe that the number 8 will give you many twists and turns and learning experiences, but nothing really bad will happen to you. I turned 18 on 08/08/88 and 38 on 08/08/08. Congratulations to all...
