Perhaps 3/3/09 makes a little more sense (if not as y2k compliant)

I'm looking forward to Valentines Day 2025. That will be a true square root day, where the square of the ordinal date will equal the year.

The last time that happened was Feb 13, 1936.

I always look forward to Valentines Day. I always get the Missus chocolates, and she always let's me have some. Even nuts.

Good call. I forgot all about it

8.306623862918074852584262744907492010232214248955 65577943218836903758503342315157386739850823235705 0

I was going to check this, but google doesn't have nearly enough digits. Aside: Why can I do integrals on wolfram's website, but I can't do basic arithmetic?

Edit to add: yes, but if you square the pie first it's easier to take out of the pan
