    I saw a link to 888.com gambling website, and remembered how 8 was a lucky number in China so out of idle curiosity I typed in eight 8s in the url - 88888888.com and to little surprise it was taken by a gambling site. Then I wondered how many eights would be bought up by domain holders.

    http://www.88888888888888888888888888888888888.com/ is the most number eights in the url I could find. That's 35 number eights in the domain name (why didn't they get 40 as it's a multiple of 8? - oh, wait they did:

    http://www.8888888888888888888888888888888888888888.com/ is actually the most 8s in a domain! I just checked eighty 8s and nobody has bought it if anyone is interested?

    Is this the craziest domain ever?
