Part of the world is already in this Superstitious day. The rest will follow shortly. 8-08-08 will also be an interesting day for many.
The Summer Bejing Olympics will start at 8:08:08 on 8-08-08. It’s not true 8:08 depending on how you look at the clocks. It will be officially 20:08:08, but then again, halfway around the country, it WILL be 8:08:08….
