8 (eight) is the natural number following 7 and preceding 9. Etymology English ''eight'', from Old English '', æhta'', Proto-Germanic ''*ahto'' is a direct continuation of Proto-Indo-European '' *oḱtṓ(w)-'', and as such cognate with Greek and Latin , both of which stems are reflected by the English prefix oct(o)-, as in the ordinal adjective ''octaval'' or ''octavary'', the distributive adjective is ''octonary''. The adjective ''octuple'' (Latin ) may also be used as a noun, meaning "a set of eight items"; the diminutive ''octuplet'' is mostly used to refer to eight siblings delivered in one birth. The Semitic numeral is based on a root ''*θmn-'', whence Akkadian ''smn-'', Arabic ''ṯmn-'', Hebrew ''šmn-'' etc. The Chinese numeral, written (Mandarin: ''bā''; Cantonese: ''baat''), is from Old Chinese ''*priāt-'', ultimately from Sino-Tibetan ''b-r-gyat'' or ''b-g-ryat'' which also yielded Tibetan '' brgyat''.

A list is a set of discrete items of information collected and set forth in some format for utility, entertainment, or other purposes. A list may be memorialized in any number of ways, including existing only in the mind of the list-maker, but lists are frequently written down on paper, or maintained electronically. Lists are "most frequently a tool", and "one does not ''read'' but only ''uses'' a list: one looks up the relevant information in it, but usually does not need to deal with it as a whole".Lucie Doležalová,The Potential and Limitations of Studying Lists, in Lucie Doležalová, ed., ''The Charm of a List: From the Sumerians to Computerised Data Processing'' (2009).

Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu
is a spin-off season of '' Full Metal Panic!'' by Gonzo. The series takes place between the first and the second season. Markedly different in tone to the first series, ''Fumoffu'' emphasizes the high school romantic comedy aspects of ''Full Metal Panic!'' with often crude humor and focuses on the romantic tension between Sousuke Sagara and Kaname Chidori. It frequently parodies itself and anime stereotypes. None of the mecha combat or political intrigue, which characterized much of the original ''Full Metal Panic!'', can be seen in the series. The only reference to the mecha aspect of ''Full Metal Panic!'' is the Bonta-kun, which is one of the most prominent parodies in the anime. ''Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu'' was directed by Yasuhiro Takemoto and produced by Kyoto Animation, which replaced Gonzo as the series producer and became the first anime television show from this studio. The English version was produced by ADV Films. The original broadcast in Japan aired from Au ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
