Eight Is Definitely Not Enough!!!

Hi All,

I had fun generating the list for '7' a few weeks ago.  So, I wanted to write about the number '8' today.  There are many, many subjects and topics that relate to the number 8...and here comes the list!

8 Tracks For Sale - the old 8-track tapes are still available at auction on eBay.com.  Click here for the fun link to the auctions.

845 Area Code - this is the area code that serves the Hudson Valley New York counties of Rockland, Putnam, Orange  Ulster, Sullivan, most of Dutchess, parts of Delaware, Green and Columbia counties in New York State. FYI, the area code 845 split from the area code of 914 on June 5, 2000.  FYI, 914 was retained by Westchester County.

Eight is Enough - a comedy/drama from 197701981 that dealt with a family with eight very independent children. Cute show and you can catch some episodes on YouTube.

Eighth Amendment - of the United States Constitution is part of the United States Bill of Rights prohibiting the federal government from imposing excessive bail, excessive fines or cruel and unusual punishments. Click on this link for a link to a blog called the Federalist Blog that talks about the original meaning of 'cruel and unusual punishments' discussed in the Eighth Amendment.

The Noble Eightfold Path - is one of the principal teachings of the Buddha, who described it as the way leading to the cessation of suffering and the achievment of self-awakening. 

Eight Men Out - Movie which dramatizes the 1919 Black Sox scandal in which underpaid Chicago White Sox accepted bribes to deliberately lose the 1919 World Series.  Great movie.

Enjoy the varied links!  Have a good Memorial Day.
