[quote=JSUMMERS83,289251]I have found plenty of reference material backing up the number 8 as both lucky and as unlucky. I'm not interested in the past, though. It is obvious how people felt about the luckiness of number 8 when they announced the beginning of the Beijing Olympics: 8/8/08. It even starts at 8pm, for goodness sakes! People couldn't stop telling me how wonderful and "lucky" that is. I wasn't aware that 7 and 10 were lucky - I did know about 6, though. I always thought it odd that people in China would love to have a phone number starting with "666" while back in the west such a number would probably be avoided as much as possible.[/quote]
