A curiosity: the span of Chaplin's life was exactly:

88 years

8 months

8 days

...plus a few hours (eight, perhaps?).

And he was born in the late 1880s, too. Eerie.

1889 actually. If you subtract the one from the nine you get 888.

And he was born on April 16, ie 4/16. 4 is half of 8 and 1/2 times 16
equals 8

And 1+8+8+9=8 times 3.25. March 25th is exactly 19 days after Rollie
signed his first contract. 1 minus 9 equals, you guessed it, another
8.

Amazing, huh?

Consider his birthdate and take it back to when Chaplin was probably
conceived: August, 1888. No doubt 8-8-88 at 8:08pm. After his father had
imbibed 8 hard drinks no doubt. OK, I'm creeped out for the rest of the
day.

More likely (and perhaps appropriately) one over the eight.
