Today is square root day because it’s 3/3/09 [CNN Blogs]
i.e. 3 x 3 = 9
i.e. 3-squared equals 9
Of course, we have to give a desi connection other than “Aryabhatta invented 0“.
Presenting the “Square root of 3″ poem from the second installment of the Harold and Kumar movies, as uttered by Kal Penn’s character of Kumar Patel:
The Square Root of 3
I fear that I will always be
A lonely number like root three
A three is all that’s good and right,
Why must my three keep out of sight
Beneath a vicious square root sign,
I wish instead I were a nine
For nine could thwart this evil trick,
with just some quick arithmetic
I know I’ll never see the sun, as 1.7321
Such is my reality, a sad irrationality
When hark! What is this I see,
Another square root of a three
Has quietly come waltzing by,
Together now we multiply
To form a number we prefer,
Rejoicing as an integer
We break free from our mortal bonds
And with a wave of magic wands
Our square root signs become unglued
And love for me has been renewed.
