I guess calling today "Pythagoras Day" is as good as anything, since it's a mathematically beautiful day. The date, either in the US (9/16/25) or everywhere else in the world (16/9/25), has the common rendition of the year as the sum of the day and the month: 9+16=25.
I mention Pythagoras because he was a Greek intellectual and school-founder who's name has been attached to an ancient theorem about the sums of the squares of the two smaller sides of a right triangle being the same as the square of the longest side. Remember: a2 + b2 = c2 ?
So, eh, today is like, 32/ 42/ 52, which us math heads find enjoyable.
As long as you come in when it rains you math heads have fun.... but it is a cool math day..... thanks for pointing that out, I'd have missed it....
