A few days ago I wrote about Square Root Day. I looked at my blog's incoming links and found James Aruthur blogging in Square Day. Today is 3/05/2009. If you take the square root of 3052009 you get 1747. So the date today is a perfect square! The next one is April 1st, 2009, but then we have to wait until 2016 for the next one.
What do these mathematical oddities mean? Nothing, but they are fun!Reprinted with permission from the Half-Astrophysicist Blog.

HB, sometimes your posts makes my brain hurt.
Logjam, no pain, no gain :)
You guys have been staring into outer space too long. It may have turned your brain into mush. I'm sure glad I have better things to do (cough, blog) than to figure out the square root of the date....... :>
What do you mean, they mean nothing? They're probably like the Bible codes and full of hidden significance.
I have the song 'it's hip to be a square' in my head now....
