Okay, on a purely nerdy note, today is square root day - a day when both the day of the month and the month are the square root of the last two digits of the year - a holiday that only comes around once every nine years. It is one of those oddly satisfying symmetries in the world.
On a related note, there's only 17 days left until the equinox! Woot!
(Edited on 3/6/09 to add: I made a mistake! I meant to say that square root day only occurs 9 times a century. NOT every 9 years! Sorry I didn't catch that earlier!)

Every 9 years? That doesn't soundquite right, shouldn't there have been one on 2/2/04? And the next one will be 4/4/16?
