Well its good to see that speculation on the meaning of my birthday has turned into speculation on when I'll die

Personally, I don't want to be kicking on till 110, I'd rather get to a ripe old age get one big illness that kills me off. I don't want to be kept alive with serious illnesses just for the sake of keeping me alive...
Anyway, the number 8 has yet to prove to have any luck value (+ve or -ve) for me in all these years. The one upside is that I have an easy to say birth date for those times when people ask
