My ex-roommate the Hackenbizzl noted that today's date is 11/23/5. I hereby declare today Fibonacci Day. Celebrate some golden ratio today!

I was telling my aunt that I think it will catch on pretty quickly, except that the next Fibonnacci Day willn't come until the next in the series which would be 11/23/58. But then I started thinking, well maybe 8/13/21. That would work too. Or, 5/8/13. We may be able to assemble a reasonable party schedule. Who's with me?

For some reason, this book was located close to the biographies of John Lennon.
