For all you math lovers out there, Happy Square Root Day! That's right, March 3, 2009 is Square Root Day. I heard about this day while listening to the radio during my morning commute to work (if you can call a 10-minute drive a commute!). Thanks to Dave Cory, former KCSG engineer and current Cherry Creek Radio engineer, who enlightened me to this day (and my life will be forever changed...), this day only comes around nine times a century. Apparently, there are more people who love this holiday than I thought. A square root day group on
Facebook, boasts more than 2,400 members, and suggests celebrating the minor mathematical oddity by eating radishes or other roots—cut into spot-on squares, of course. Hmm...a bit much? Can you name the next occurence of square root day?
