Well, I kept the number 8 in my pocket for nearly 8 hours today (it seemed the right amount of time). The result? I came home, $0.23 richer. That's right, folks, I found 2 dimes and 3 pennies sitting on a table--that, and I had some free doughnut-holes in the break room.

My conclusion is that, while I'm not completely satisfied by the results, the fact I actually found money prevents me from completely debunking the number 8 claim.

Now I must decide what to spend my $0.23 on...I'll try not to blow it all at once.
