I'm posting this early so that you all have time to get your ducks in a row in order to celebrate.
March 3, 2009 (this coming Tuesday) is Square Root Day!
Why is square root day so important? Because there are only 9 a century! Square Root day is celebrated on any day when both the month number, and the day number are the square root of the last two digits of the year. For example
01/01/01 - January 1st, 2001
02/02/04 - February 2nd, 2004
03/03/09 - March 3rd, 2009
04/04/16 - April 4th 2016
05/05/25 - May 5th, 2025
06/06/36 - June 6th 2036
07/07/49 - July 7th 2049
08/08/64 - August 8th, 2064
09/09/81 - September 9th, 2081
So you see? There aren't that many! How are you going to celebrate square root day? I've heard that people buy root vegetables (potatoes, carrots, radishes etc. etc. ) cut them into squares and eat them. That's all well and good, but seeing as we live in a three dimensional world -- doesn't that make them cubes? Not squares? If that's the case we'll have to wait until March 3rd 2027 for the next Cube Root Day!
In any case -- I hope your Square Root Day is "radical!" (See what I did there?)
