Today is “Square Root Day” — one of those special “holidays” in which the first two digits of the date can be multiplied to form the last two digits of the year (3 x 3 = 09), CNET is reporting.
Such holidays only come around nine times in a century; the next one occurs April 4, 2016.

So, this is how math nerds celebrate. It ain’t a tequila party. Then again, at least no one ends up wandering naked in the Mexican desert.
I like numbers. Just not this much.
If you think things get nutty on Square Root Day, just wait for Irrational Number Day. It’s April 15.
