I learned about that 'secret' 88 thing last night on HOMELAND (excellent show - highly recommend and Claire Danes is my new hero)
Some weirdo character in a dive bar had an 88 tat on his arm and Claire's character guessed what it really meant (he said it was his football number in HS) - I'd never heard of that before.
