That is freaky. I wouldn't take it on after all that.

I thought the number eight was supposed to be lucky anyway.

Regardless, it looks like most of the owners of that number had their cards marked anyway.

this is really odd!

Now, I'm scared. I got a mobile number with four eights with it.

I thought the number 4 was unlucky, or is that just in China? We noticed ages ago that you don't get many phone names with the number 4 in.

Has there ever been a Sony Ericsson C904 or T414?

Lord only knows what might happen to you if your phone number was 04444 444 444 .

Its all rubbish.

I had two numbers. One is ***** 88820 and the other one is ***44 44**5.

Despite of this, i believe and read somewhere that if you see 444, means your Angels are with you to help you.

I believe in angels, do you?

bloody hell!

well, according to my Grand Ma (oh, elders believe in such ridiculous superstitions), number four means failure. It is due to how we write 4.

Horizontal to the left, diagonal lift to the right, then straight down.
