Every now and then, some member make a celebration post here in the SS GT about post number 1,000 or 10,000
I'm not there yet... :oops:
Instead, I'm making this post to talk about 888, because this is my post number 888.
- Physically, it's the same number if you turn it upside down... ;)
- However not if you write it the roman style, then it's DCCCLXXXVIII
888 may refer to:
* 888 (number), the number 888
* 888, a year in the Common Era
* 888 (manga), by Noriko Kuwata
* 888.com, a gambling website
* Ducati 888, a motorcycle
* Nokia 888, a concept mobile phone
* Route 888 (Israel) a road in Israel
* T-888, a model of Terminator in the TV series Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
* The 4-hole extension of the ISO 838 standard of filing holes punched in paper is sometimes called "888"
* 888 is a nickname for Australian racing driver Craig Lowndes' car
* 888 is the number used to dial up teletext subtitles on some programmes shown on European television channels
* 888 is prefix/area code for toll-free telephone numbers in the North American Numbering Plan
* 888, a contraction of the labour movement's slogan for the Eight-hour day
Triple Eight may refer to:
* Triple 8, British boy band
* Triple 8 Race Engineering, British motorsport team
* Triple Eight Race Engineering (V8 Supercars), Australian motorsport team linked to the British team.
888 as in the year in the Common Era:
Events
States and territories established in 888

* Bishopric of Speyer
States and territories disestablished in 888

* January 13 — With the death of Charles the Fat, the Frankish kingdom is split again, and this time permanently. Odo, Count of Paris becomes King of the Western Franks.
* ‘Abdullah ibn Muhammad succeeds al-Mundhir as emir of Córdoba, Spain.
Religion
* Shaftesbury Abbey is founded in Dorset, England.
Births
* Vratislaus I, duke of Bohemia 915-921
Deaths
* January 13 — Charles the Fat, King of France
* Abu Da'ud, hadith compiler
* Cerball mac Dúnlainge, King of Osraige
* Emperor Xizong of Tang
888, the number 888
* 888 = 2(3) × 3 × 37, sum of eight consecutive primes (97 + 101 + 103 + 107 + 109 + 113 + 127 + 131), Harshad number.
And that concludes the lesson about 888 for today. :know:
