Square root day is just the beginning
Did your kid wish you a happy square root day? If not, wish it on your kid.
Get it? Today's 3/3/09, and 3x3 = 9. There are only nine square root days in a century, and people are too busy celebrating a new century on the first one: 1/1/01. Then there's groundhog day, 2/2/04. After today, the next one will be 4/4/16. You get the idea.
Sounds like the kind of thing that would thrill me back when I was at the Bronx High School of Science.
Of course, we were more tickled by Pi day. You know, 3/14.
But why stop there?
How about information day? That would be 4/11.
The day we should all clean out unwanted stuff from our desk: 8/6
If we start using Roman numerals, then Feb. 2 can be eyeglasses day: ii/ii
How about offering to help a police officer every 10/13?
Let me know you received this message by 10/4.
