      Re: Happy Square Root Day!!

      they were yakkin' about this on the radio this a.m. ... basing it all on the 3/3/9 designation. but it you really want to be technical, the real 'root' days are
      Feb 2nd, 2 CE (Common Era)
      March 3rd, 9 CE
      etc.
      In other words, they all came in the first to Centuries of the CE.

      (Howz that for nerdulousity?!? )

          Of course, I'm really waiting for the big event, eleven days from now.
          Out of my mind; back in five minutes.

              Square is the root of all evil.

                          Man, TT, you definitely do not qualify for nerd status. You'll have to work harder to earn that pocket protector.

                          Pi day, of course!

                            So does that mean that March 14, 20015 would be even more of a party in geekdom then?

                              20015? I'm not familiar with that one, the next few digits of Pi are 2857 I think.
