django49 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 .....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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donner Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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?!?
