| Happy Square Root Day |
| 2009-03-03 |
| Tuesday is Square Root Day, a rare holiday that occurs when the day and the month are both the square root of the last two digits of the current year. Numerically, March 3, 2009, can be expressed as 3/3/09, or mathematically as ¡î9 = 3, or 3©÷ = 3 ¡¿ 3 = 9. Square Root Day occurs only nine times in a century. The last one occurred on February 2, 2004, and the next will occur in seven years on April 4, 2016. Happy Square Root Day, all you radicals out there along the Tropic of Calculus! |

| #1 I mourn for the Upside Down Year, myself. The last time I saw one was in 1961. Flip it over and see for yourself. The next one is in 6009. Assuming 1, 6,8,9,0 are upside down numbers. If 5 is allowed (open to debate) then 5005 is the next. Regardless, it is out of all of our leagues with the present technology of living. |
