I can't sleep, so why not share trivia with the blog!
Today (05-07-09) is one of only six days this century in which the date (written in the form I used) is made up of three consecutive odd numbers! Odd Day even has its own website!
On a related note, check out square root day over at Wikipedia. We have to wait until April 4, 2016 for the next one of those (both the month and the day are the square roots of the last two digits of the year).
And the final two that I know of: Mole day and Pi day.

Also interesting is the way I interpreted this at first, which is when the date is comprised of (any number) of consecutive odd digits (without wraparounds).
ReplyDeleteThe only five days I know of that adhere to this rule are as follows:
01/03/05
03/05/07
05/07/09
01/03/57
03/05/79
You could have another one using 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 if there were only 13 months in a year or 35 days in a month.
i live with a number g33k ... at least it's entertaining.
