Similar to Odd Day is Square Root Day, where the month and day are the square roots of the year. This happens nine times 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, and 09/09/81. No, today isn't a Square Root Day, but today was the first I heard of it. Being the nerd that I am, I had to post this. #math

Dave,
Please mark your calendar for May 8, 2013 and August 13, 2021. Why? Well clearly, these are the only two dates in this century where the date includes a consecutive sequence of Fibonacci numbers. :-)
It only occurs 6 times in a given century with the the first one this century occurring on 01/01/02. The other dates are
01/02/03
02/03/05
03/05/08.
I'm not saying I'm as much of a nerd as you, but if you take the "Fi" off of Fibonacci, you have my wife's maiden name so I guess that counts for something.

I AM saying you're as much of a nerd as me, if not more. I stuck with odd numbers and square roots, and you took it all the way to Fibonacci sequences. You win this nerd war.
