Like, totally odd-some!**
For the mathematically challenged, today's date, 5/7/09, is one of only six this century that will feature three consecutive odd numbers. (Boston Globe)
**What? You come up with a better pun!
(Of course, as Keith Olbermann pointed out*, the Globe was wrong; but this is such a nice mathematical quasi-factoid, it is worth posting.)
*“Number two: Best erroneous celebration. Ron Gordon, teacher in Redwood City, California, and chief promoter of the fact that today is “Odd Day” -5-7-09, only one of six dates this century that will feature three consecutive odd numbers, he says. Except, of course, it doesn‘t. The numbers are five, seven, zero and nine. Zero is not an odd number. So you look at it the other way. It‘s 05, 07, 09, that‘s even worse.
The first odd day with three consecutive odd numbers is January 3rd, 2050, one, three, five, zero.”

Sorry Duane -- I've been trying hard for over a year not to visit this website anymore, but I keep coming back. It's like my adolescent addictions to pot and 'BCN. I can only resolve to keep trying to break the habit. Or you can make things easier for both of us and ban me from the site!

Personally, I liked the pun ("not even funny" - very good!) and the awesome dancing. It was sequitor-ish to me!
