88

Recommended Posts

.....Is a number that had some special significance when I was younger. It is NOT my age. It IS a hexadecagonal number, the atomic number of radium AND the number of keys on a piano. Some would say two eights represents a "double infinity". But perhaps it only FEELS like that........

Who are we mere mortals to dare question such existential matters?

I'm glad to read this. And being well educated, first hand. And feeling comfortable again.

In Germany 2 8s can have different meanings, and one interpretaion is really disgusting:

Eighty Aid is the claim of a service clinic for Cannondale's suspension fork like the Fatty, Lefty etc.

Eighty Aid roots from 4x22, which is the amount of balls (sic!) in the 4 ballbearings, that make C'dales construction work and being serviceable.

So far, so good! Mountainbiking is good for your health. And brain.

But now the BAD:

88 also is used by (German, but also international) Nazis as a hidden salutation, referring twice to „H“ , the 8th letter in the alphabet.

This is meant to mean „Heil Hitler". Which is at least disgusting.

Fck Nzis!

 

Again something new learnt!

And THIS down there is a cap from the Headshok clinic!

Whoa.....That one appropriation of 88 is most unfortunate. And disgusting.

Off the subject a bit......A woman I worked with in SoCal for over 25 years had a BMW. Her father, a Jewish survivor of WWII Europe, never did quite cozy up to what he called a "Nazi tin can" (and worse).

There are some things the world must never forget. But I am not going to veer off into "politics".

PS......If "88" equates to "HH". I am going to reinterpret that as Hugh Hefner......Boobies are much more uplifting.

88 could also represent your IQ, but we won’t go there.  🙄

Entirely possible my IQ dropped in half since going to work for my own self 13 years ago. The last thing I wanna do is let that slavedriver  know I think I am smarter than he is.....Just yesterday, I looked in the mirror and he said, "Have a good day!" So I went home. Wait a minute, I work at home! WTF am I talking about?

But it is also entirely possible that I am guilty of TUII....Typing Under the Influence of Intoxicants. Could it be?!?
