Celebrated Square Root Day
|
I hope some nerd tells me about this day today, so I can punch him in the face to celebrate my first annual "punch a nerd in the face for telling me it's square root day" day.

Furthermore, the Calgary Flames have never played on Square Root Day. This will be the first Square Root Day game in franchise history.

My I Ching reading predicts that Sutter will pick up Bouwmeester, Roberts, and Ovechkin.
... Bias may have contributed to the latter.

I'm a math major. My friend told me it was Square Root Day. Even I thought this was lame. Pi Day is the only math holiday I will celebrate. Mmm.. Pie.
