    well, let's start with the number
    48

    ~"the man who is a pessimist before forty-eight knows too much; if he is an optimist after it, he knows too little"
    ~Mark Twain

    ~"48 hours need 48 thrills."
    '48 thrills' by The Clash

    ~48 hours is commonly used as a more dramatic way of saying two days, particularly the weekend. it sets the clock ticking

    ~48 hours is a film starring Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte as a convicted criminal and a cop respectively, forced to work together to track down a killer. And they have only got two days

    ~48 is the smallest number with exactly ten divisors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24

    ~The Forty & Eight is a society of American war veterans, formed in 1920 after the First World War. It takes the name from the rail wagons used to carry troops to the front in France. These were marked woth the figures 40/8, signifying that they had the capacity to carry 40 men or 8 horses

    ~The Forty Eight is another name for Johann Sebastian Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier. It consists of 48 pieces: a prelude and fugue in each of the major and minor keys.

    hmm..
    nice numbers...
    well, according to my current knowledge:

    @kyu: 8 is a lucky number in the asian society, ever wondered why the singaporean 1-dollar coin is in an octagonal shape? bcoz it has 8 sides and it represents luck, one of the hotels in singapore, is in an octagonal shape (the tower) and it ahs octagonal-shaped windows, again, luck

    @Hatake_Kakashi & chcltmoney2: well, just to share my experience too, i won my first trophy when i was 5, n my luckiest number is 7 ^^

    @Lariemeeva: 12 eh? again, personal experience, i stayed up over midnight the forst time when i was 12^^

    anyway,
    the next post, will be further research on the number 8, continued with 5, 7 and 12

    stay tuned^^

    Wow, this is interesting! :D

    25 -- back in grade school & high school, we had class numbers. And since my last name starts with M, I was almost always #25. :)

    17 -- The year I was 17 was probably the best year ever. I got into my first choice school & had my first boyfriend, the one I've been crushing for three years prior to that. XD Oh, and I had this kinjirareta futari type of relationship with a high school sempai, and her class number was 17. 8D

    27 -- Mine & my koi's anniversary. The one we never celebrate, but I've gotten used to it. XDDDD

    7 -- This is my lucky number. And this is Tanaka Reina's number too!

    5 -- Remember "Slam Dunk"? Well, this is the jersey number of my favorite player, Kogure. :)

    [​IMG]

    here shown a simple Ba Gua chart

    it has eight sides, eight in chinese, the pronunciation sounds similar to the word "prosperity" and therefore associated as "eight the lucky number"

    well, in chinese culture, the Ba Gua is the "Map of Life"

    ~the SI prefix for 1000to the power of 8 (in indo: pangkat) is (Y) yotta
    ~in nuclear physics, it's the second magic number
    ~the atomic number of the most important element in our life, Oxygen
    ~the number of allotropes of a carbon
    ~8 is the maximum number of electons that can fit a valence shell
    ~there are 8 known B vitamins that plays an important role in the cell metabolism
    ~in islam, 8 is the number of angels carrying the holy throne of Allah in heavens
    ~in tarot, card no.8 is "strength"
    ~a byte comprises of 8 bits
    ~on most phones, 8 is assigned for the letters, T, U, V, on the blackberry, it's B, N

    conclusion, 8 plays an important role in our lives, from the chinese Ba Gua, the Chemistry rules of 8 valence electrons, to the tarot world, where this number represents strength.
    you whose favourite number is 8 should be extremely proud, especially whenit's the atomic number of Oxygen
