Who did the number 8 have to speak with(or sleep with, I don't really know how it works with numbers) to become so important? Early on in the creating process of numbers he wasn't that high on the totem pole. If they needed a number he was the eighth person they would call. When they were first invented numbers, 7 inventions were created before he was. Number one was there go to guy(or I guess "person" to be gender neutral). Early on with numbers I bet 8 wasn't used that much. They either killed one animal or zero animals. Those were the numbers they were sleeping with originally. Now the number 8 has become pretty important.
Not long ago some scientist was like, "Somethings can go on forever". Another scientist was like, "That is totally true man". They both were a little freaked out, then they thought, "We should name it infinity"(because that would be the first thought you would have to name it). Then the other scientist said, "The symbol for infinity should an 8 that is laying down on its side, because here recently the eight has been really nice to me...if you know what I mean". The other scientist didn't know what he meant.
Somehow 8 went from the 8th guy in line to the first, at least in the scientific community. I think it is because of the scientific community's love for the band Three Dog Night. They wrote a song about how "one is the loneliest number" and how "two can be as bad as one, it's the loneliest number since the number one" Since scientist are always over thinking, they tried to find when a number becomes unlonely and the number 8 had the best argument...I guess.
