March 3, 2009 is Square Root Day
Dust off the slide rules and recharge the calculators. Square Root Day is upon us.
"These days are like calendar comets, you wait and wait and wait for them, then they brighten up your day and poof they're gone," said Ron Gordon, a Redwood City teacher who started a contest meant to get people excited about the event.
The next is seven years away, on April 4, 2016.

I like the 1-1-01, 2-2-02 etc. dates. You get 1 per year for 12 years and then no more for a century. |
