I would have hated to miss this one! I won't celebrate but the idea of waiting 5 years, 1 month and 1 day till next square root day was a pain in the younowat';)

Did you check your math? Looks to me like your expectation will not be realized unless you are willing to wait a couple more years.

That is wishful thinking. We all know that the end of the world will come before then.

He said "was a pain," so I thought he was talking history, about what he had to go through waiting for yesterday's date.

Anyway, the party's over.

Now MARCH FORTH!

It would be awesome if stuff like that would be announced here a day earlier :D
Everytime there's an awesome holiday, it gets posted when our day in Slovenia is coming to an end:(

Maybe you should become the great master of slovenian square root days!
Your mission would be to warn slovenian people the day before, considering local time, and spread the words of the holy square root throughout the world:D
