Number Eight
Posted: Jun 23rd 2000, 10:09 am
I know there's been some discussion about recurring lines before "Whatever happens, happens", "Why are you like this..." etc, but has anyone else noticed how the number "eight" seems to crop up in sentences? For example
Angela: I said, like, eight sentences to you in my entire life
Graham: It was one of the eight best nights of my life
Danielle: There must be someone there she likes, 'cause she changed her clothes, like, eight times
Rayanne says something involving eight as well but I've forgotten what it was. Has anybody else noticed any other examples? D'you reckon there's any significance or is it just a writer's in-joke?
