8 is a number with many properties, including a villa on the Bahamas, a whole island in the Pacific Ocean and Liberty Bell in Philadelphia, monopoly. Number 8 (from pirate aye for eight) was born shortly after 7 and before 9. Unfortunately, there were some complications at birth because the doctor didn't know which side was the head. As it later turned out, scientists discovered that numbers don't even have heads! Anyway, as eight came out after 7 hours of labor the doctor happily congratulated the parents on a beautiful baby girl. When 8 turned 18 she was forced by her parents to marry 1 and become, uhmm, 18.
