I know this post is late in the day, but I totally spaced that today is March 3, 2009 - that's 3/3/09. It's Square Root Day! For the math challenged, that's a day when both the day and the month are the square root of the last two digits of the year. In today's case the square root of 9 = 3. The next Square Root Day is 4/4/16 so you better celebrate while you've got the chance. Embrace your inner math geek.
Square Root Day was first celebrated by a high school teacher in California on September 9, 1981 - 9/9/81, and he still publicizes the holiday to this day. I'm sure everyone remembers a high school teacher that would come up with some sort of crazy, loopy thing just to get students interested. If not then you definitely missed out. So celebrate Square Root Day and drink a toast to wacky high school teachers for giving us silly things to liven up an otherwise ordinary day.
