Happy Square Root Day!
Something to delight in tomorrow: 3/3/09 is the third square root date of the century.
For those mathematically challenged: 9 is the square of 3. 3 is the square root of 9.
Square root day is a holiday celebrated (by math geeks and nerds all over the world) on dates where the day and the month are both the square root of the last two digits in the current year.
This century, 3 square root dates have already occurred.

People do all kinds of crazy things in celebration. It's all insanity BUT what isn't.
I'm eating some root veggies cut up in squares and drinking root beer out of square mugs while I do a little square dance..
I might even wonder how many of these square events I'll be able to make in this lifetime. Hmmm...can't wonder too much.
It's hip to be square!

Errrr...I'll just do a cartwheel or something. :-)
9 is the square of 3. 3 is the square root of 9. Cheers.
Ah, thanks for the correction Scotty! :) How could I?! Tsk, oversight..
To round out your square day, you need to get one of these.
Those square melons have really got me wondering. Where can I get one of my own? What crazy story behind dat??
I am so frightened by your math enthusiasm ;-)

Liked those words :)

..Japan, who else would go to that extent to save space while packing.
Lisa, you know stranger things about me, but you've promised me you'd never tell anyone!
