It is 4/4/16! That’s one of the very rare square root days! (You know 4
times 4 is 16…)
It is 11 years until the next one, so have a good one today!
(Edited to add: Only 9 years. This really is 2016...)

[livejournal.com profile] yebo and I have been friends since the last one of the last
millennium. 9/9/81 we had just started engineering school together and
went to the local pizza place and ordered square pizza for square root day.
That was only 4 square root days ago.

You're right!
It is 2016 now!
I get mixed up about these things.
I was in 1988 last week and think I might have messed up some stuff. It should still be OK now though...
Wait, just checked who is running for president.
I'll be right back...

DON'T SCREW WITH IT! REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED IN 1964?

64 can sort itself out. I'm worried about 2025 now!

Don't clamp the possibilities!

In 1964, a friend of mine heard that if he voted for Goldwater the country would experience massive inflation, a massive MAD-brinkmanship arms buildup, an increase in the number of young men drafted to die in Viet Nam, and a degree of cronyistic corruption never before seen even in the heyday of Boss Tweed.

He did vote for Goldwater, and it all came to pass as foretold.

Next time someone tells you "one vote doesn't count" you should tell them that story!
