Another option for 8:
8 - Cos(8 × π) - Cos(8 × π)

Pi is a number, I think. A mad-as-a-box-of-frogs number, but still a number.

It's a mathematical symbol which represents a number.
That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!

Aha!
8 - √√(8 + 8) = 6
Blindingly obvious once you spot it.
Edit: And then I see that Nagy edited his post and got the answer before me.

(sqrt( 8 + (8/8) ))!
8-sqrt(sqrt(8+8))

A couple of different solutions.
(1 + 1 + 1)# = 6
2# + 2 + 2 = 6
3# + 3 - 3 = 6
4# + 4 - 4 = 6
ϕ(5) + ϕ(5) + ϕ(5) = 6
ϕ(6) + ϕ(6) + ϕ(6) = 6
ϕ(7) + ϕ(7) - ϕ(7) = 6
ϕ(8)# + 8 - 8 = 6
ϕ(9) + 9 - 9 = 6

I, too, can invent mathematical operators at convenience.
For instance f(x1,...xn) = 6, for any xi.
Obviously,
f(1,1,1)=6<br />
f(2,2,2)=6<br />
...

ϕ(n) is the totient function. Number of integers relatively prime to n. ϕ(5) = 4, ϕ(6) = 2, etc.
N# is the primorial function. It multiplies all the primes less than or equal to N.
Both of these are more esoteric math operators that are used in higher math.

(0! + 0! + 0!)! = 6
(1 + 1 + 1)! = 6
2 + 2 + 2 = 6
3 * 3 - 3 = 6
√4 + √4 + √4 = 6
5 + (5 - 5)! = 6
6 - 6 + 6 = 6
7 - (7 - 7)! = 6
∛8 + ∛8 + ∛8 = 6
√9 * √9 - √9 = 6

You've got to remember how the Internet works -- half of the packets are routed through China, and my wife is important in China, so I get quicker service.

Well China is important to my wife (Royal Doulton particularly) and I don't get preferential treatment!

Scientifically achieved findings:
-- The longer a cow has been lying down, the more likely that cow will soon stand up.
-- once a cow stands up, you cannot easily predict how soon that cow will lie down again.
I'm really -- I mean really Really Really -- in the wrong line of work.

But the longer a cow is standing the more likely the cow will soon lie down.
Guess I'd be great at cow science.
You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named "Bush", "Dick", and "Colon."
