TODAY IS SQUARE ROOT DAY

What is square root day you ask? Leave it up to me to tell you....

"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, the last square root day was 02/02/04." Get it, 2 times 2 equals four.

"Square root days fall upon the same 9 dates each century:
01/01/01
02/02/04
03/03/09
04/04/16
05/05/25
06/06/36
07/07/49
08/08/64
09/09/81

"Ron Gordon, a Redwood City, California high school teacher, first created the day for 09/09/81."

So, CHEERS! It's square root day!
