Seven times lucky

Omega reminds you that today marks 8,888,888 seconds before the Olympic Games. That's just under 103 days, for those of you keeping count in the more traditional manner.

This full-page ad, which features an engraving of the Bird's Nest, appeared on page 2 of today's Qingdao Morning Post.

My luckiest moment was when NBC television wouldn't offer a contract for supplying people to work the Beijing Olympics. This almost two years ago!
Now, I'm so happy we won't be there!
