They usually prefer meditation to more frivolous activities such as, for example, laughing or even light chuckling. Eights are good at getting money. They begin this process at an early age, often carrying three or four simultaneous paper routes or baby-sitting every child on the block. They know they have to get rich because they are, to put it kindly, not well favored in the looks department. Except for their monetarybresources, eights are about as much fun to be around as a badger with a headache.
Nines are visionaries and geniuses.
They are often such advanced thinkers, in fact, that they can't even understand themselves. They are, in their rare coherent moments, great teachers and scientists. They are often condemned as unorthodox or impractical merely because they propose things like increasing drumstick production by breeding chickens with six legs, or dumping all of our obsolete nuclear weapons in the Pentagon, where they won't endanger anything. Nines also tend to be pollyannas in their view of the universe, largely because they can't imagine anything going wrong. Nines are fun to have as friends, so long as you have a relatively strong stomach.
