Square Root Day

· Tuesday, March 3, 2009 · 2 comments

Donald Sensing passes along word that, “Today is 3-3-09, a date that calendar keepers call a square root day. Only nine such dates occur per century. The last was 2-2-04 and the next will be 4-4-16.”

    Even though it is factually correct, wasting bandwidth on the subject is about as rational as the square root of 2.
