Happy Square Root Day

So March * 3 = (200)9, making today a Square Root Day (both the number of the month and the day are the square root of the last two digits of the year). We just won't know this sort of happiness again until April 4, 2016, unless you count Pi Day, which is coming up on March 14. March is just filled with math goodness! According to the Facebook group and Wikipedia, "One suggested way of celebrating the holiday is by eating square radishes, or other root vegetables cut into shapes with square cross sections." Enjoy that.
