The term is actually a reference to the size of a grave... 8 feet long, and 6 feet deep... hence it refers to something being "dead."\n\nIn the restaurant biz, and many other contexts, when someone says "86" something, it means that they've run out, or they want to stop it, etc.

That is funny... what about 82, though??

This quote comes from Orwells book "1984". He wrote the book so I assume he is the source of the quote.

81 is average, but I would not put too much emphasis on the number. I have meet some really dumb people with high IQs. Focus on ability and talents, not the nummber.

The answer is at the link. My first thought was Ripken and that is correct. It was in 1987.

I have eight answers\n\n888 + 88 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 1000\n\n(8888 - 888) / 8 = 1000\n\n(8888 - 88) / 8.8 = 1000\n\n(8888 - 8) / 8.88 = 1000\n\n8 x [(8x8) + (8x8)] - (8+8+8) = 1000\n\n8 x [(8+8)x8 - (8+8+8)/8] = 1000\n\n[(88-8)/8] ^ [(8+8+8)/8] = 1000\n\n[8 + (8+8)/8] ^ [(8+8+8)/8] = 1000\n\nThose were 8 answers but if it not enough i can give you the 9th which is very silly\n\n[8/8] [8-8] [8-8] [8-8] = [1] [0] [0] [0] = 1000
