April 1 2009: A Perfect Square
For the geeks among us: Turns out that today's date, 4012009 is a perfect square - that is, it has a real square root, in this case 2003.
This will not happen on April 1 again until 6016, so enjoy it while it lasts!

That's funny, Annette. Another point of view is from Katy, who said that "the only perfect squares are the geeks in our church." I believe she was afraid this might offend someone, but since you've all just been called perfect that can't be too offensive, right?

Well, it depends... I reject the writing of dates in that format, so not only wasn't Wednesday a perfect square day, I have no clue when the next one is...
Okay, I calculated it - it's in 2015.
