Ron Gordon would like you to take a moment or three to think about what an odd day Saturday is.

Why? Because 7/9/11 is one of only six dates this century that features three consecutive odd numbers. Next up, 9/11/13.

Gordon, a retired teacher from Redwood City, Calif., has set up a website to celebrate "Odd Day," and offers some ways to celebrate: do odds `n ends, root for the odds-on-favorite or watch the "Odd Couple."

Gordon has been fascinated with curious dates since some 30 years ago he noticed the date he was writing on a check: 9/9/81. That, Gordon noticed, is a Square Root Day — one in which the day and the month are the same number and, multiplied together, yield the year as it's expressed in one or two digits.

2. Also this year all ages equal 111

Add your birth year (last 2 digits) plus your age and it will equal 111 (if you were born before 2000 and then age and birth equal 11) Saw that on Democracy Now.

3. Probably, at some point in the past, someone made fun of this guy for his obsession with numbers

and he's just trying to get even.

:spank:

4. There is also 5 weekends this month...

And if your lucky, three paydays.
