Fun on the Web May 7 '09 Happy Odd Day

Today is 5/7/09. From the AP:

"Prepare to be awed by Odd Day. "

"For the mathematically challenged, Thursday's date, 5/7/09, is one of only six this century that will feature three consecutive odd numbers. "

"Numbers lovers say the rare occurrence is an excuse to celebrate."

"'The previous stretch of six dates like this started with 1/3/1905 - 13 months after the Wright Brothers' flight,' said Ron Gordon, the Redwood City teacher who enthusiastically promotes these numerical holidays, like Square Root Day on 3/3/09. "

"Gordon is offering a prize of $579 to those who celebrate the date with the most zeal or who get the most people involved in an Odd Celebration."
