You mean Endless Eight isn't actually the chapter title? 0.o Or am I just missing an inside joke here? :p

It has to be another joke... and a bad one.
The chapter name is "エンドレスエイト" (endoresu eito)

Oh really? I always assumed the 'eight' part refereed to how a numerical 8 symbol can keep on going round and round. Or because it looks like an infinity symbol. Something like that. So much for that theory then. :p

Or maybe.. because there's 8 Haruhi's!
OOOH!
The plot thickens! Haruhi is an octuplet!

That's lucky, 'cause octuplet is the BEST multiple baby number.

How naive I was. You have shown me the light.
...I'm still confused about this whole thread by the way. Just so you know.

Wasn't Endless Eight a reference to the length of time they spent each round?

It's most likely a pun.
The night (refering to the time the spent during their summer break) will never end.
"Fifteen-thousand four hundred ninety-eight"
"Eight-thousand seven-hundred sixty-nine times"
"We started at eight o'clock in the night."

The eight is a reference to the month the story takes place: August.
Seriously, if you bother to read the chapter you'd know that...

Whatever man, I skim through everything. :p
With my short stereotypical teenage attention span, it's hard to go through anything :p

You just contradicted that statement with your devotion to the board.
I think saying that you "skim through everything" is very insulting to the people who worked so hard on the details.

I personally savor every piece of text in the books.
I refuse to start a chapter if it isn't finished because I get too giddy waiting for it to be done I'd probably start yelling at the translators.
I still can't wait for the next Kanon/Geass episodes.
