Happy Square Root Day.
Square root day is a humorous holiday celebrated on dates where the day and the month are both the square root of the last two digits in the current year. For example, today, March 3, 2009 (3/3/09), is a square root day, and the next square root day will be April 4, 2016 (4/4/16).

This is the first I've heard of this "holiday," but here's a question for you geeks:
How many Square Root Days will there be in a century?

I was thinking about this the other day. Nice to know it's recognized. :)


Well on edit... it'd be 9 if you count 1/1/1... but... I didn't.

3. It's nine.
How could you not count 1/1/01? That's like a double holiday!

5. It just doesn't seem right to count it.
It's technically a square but... I don't know I just don't like it.
