Happy Square Root Day

Last week we had the wonderful opportunity to celebrate National Pancake Day, as well as National Pistachio Day.  As exciting as these annual holidays were, today, 3/3/09, we celebrate a day that will not come again for seven years.  Nine times each century math nerds cut root vegetables into squares, and cut other foods into the square root symbol.
If National Square Root Day gets you excited for mathematical holidays, and you can't wait for 4/4/16, then maybe the annual Pi Day (3/14) or Pi Approximation Day (22/7) can scratch that itch.
Go Crazy.  You know you wanted to--now you have an excuse.
