Today is “odd day” - one of only six days this century that feature three consecutive odd numbers in the date: 05/07/09. Of course, the year is actually 2009, so it isn’t really consecutive. A “real” odd day would have been January 3rd, in the year five. But math geeks don’t have a lot to get excited about, so we’ll let ‘em have the day today.
in the latest entirely invented celebration of an arbitrarily interesting numerical sequence, one man is trying to get people excited by Odd Day.
In case you're wondering what on earth he's on about, today's date, 5/7/09, is one of only six this century that will feature three consecutive odd numbers. But of course, that's only if you use the American date format of month/day/year. In the vast majority of countries around the world, this doesn't even work, because today is either 07/05/09 or 09/07/05.
Numbers lovers (well, this one number lover) say the rare occurrence is an excuse to celebrate.
