8 - The LUCKIEST NUMBER???

August 12th 2008 16:40
Well we know that the Chinese in particular consider the number 8 to be a lucky number, so I wonder what their opinions on the little girl born in this story would be??

newborn baby
In Fergus Falls USA, a baby was born to the Hauer family.

The date she was born at was the 08-08-08.

The time she was born at was 8:08 am.

The weight she was born at was 8 pounds, 8 ounces!

Born by caesarean section, the mother thought they were pulling her leg about the time, and that was before they got to the weight!

The only joke that did occur was the one about the nurse considering telling the mother they'd shrunk the baby's length down to 18 inches from the 19.5 that she was really.

Hospital staff decided they were going to go out and buy lottery tickets later that day, and any wonder!
