Kids, homeschooling moms,
math majors, and number
geeks lovers will probably find it rather interesting to know that today is Odd Day. (Actually, the geeks already know, I'm sure!) Not just because the 7th is an odd number, but because the date contains 3 consecutive odd numbers (5-7-09). According to the Associated Press
article and the
nerd teacher who promotes this and
Square Root Day (3-3-09 - Phooey -- I missed it and the next one isn't until 4/4/16!), Odd Day only happens six times per century.
There's
even a fun little
website with interesting tidbits and a chance to win $579.
What a fun week this has been - beginning with
May the Fourth be with you, and now Odd Day. And you found out all about it right here.
What are the odds?

Thanks for the heads up! If I hadn't happened upon your blog, I would have never known, how odd today really is!
Love your closing line. :-)
Where do you come up with this stuff???

Now I'm going to ask the question that readers ask me all the time: Where do you find this stuff? This is great. I wonder if my math-teaching sister-in-law knew about this.
Very interesting info! Will I be around when the next one happens! Maybe I should check out the website and put it on the calendar, so I don't miss it!
