The next time that three consecutive odd numbers make up the date will be on September 7, …More
Enlarge photo .This nugget is pointed out by Californian high school maths teacher Ron Gordon, a self-confessed "mathemagician".

"That's what my kids call me, because I make something out of nothing from maths," the 64-year-old told AFP in a phone interview from his home in Redwood City.

"This really is a day to celebrate. OK, it's true there will be another one in two years' time on September 7, 2011 (07/09/11), and one on November 9, 2013 (09/11/13) but then it won't happen again for 92 years. And I sure won't be around to see it."

So what does Gordon suggest you do on "Odd Day"? It's a great day to do your odds 'n ends, give a friend a high-five or root for the odds-on-favourite, he says.

And fittingly, if Roger Federer wins the Wimbledon men's title today it will be his 15th Grand Slam title.

If these numerical oddities grab you, take a look at http://www.oddday.net/ and plunge into Ron Gordon's

What will Pinky and the Brain do on Odd Day?

Try NOT to take over the world?

"I know it's a lot to ask, but...."

We only ask that they ATTEPT to not take over the world. One way this can be done is by tricking their sense of Lordship Over All with the reading of a good book on Self Esteem written by people with low self esteem. Or maybe a book on evolution by an atheist. If Pinky and the Brain don't have fangs, they must be lowly prey, and therefore they are not the Lord of the Material World.

We all know that
Lucifer is the Lord here. All hail Lucifer and his minions.

The Brain: Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?

Pinky: I think so, Brain, but this time, you put the trousers on the chimp.

July 8th is another one rare one.

At 4:56am on July 8th, 2009... 4-5-6-7-8-9.

If I'm thinking about this right, it won't happen again for 100 years.

At 4:20 am and pm - you pick a date - it'll be time to be time traveling.

Think about this right, and it should happen again real soon.
