Today is George Washington’s actual birthday, or as we call it in Virginia… George Washington’s actual birthday.

Ol’ George was born in 1732 (according to most accounts), which is a number steeped in numerical significance.

(Pause for effect.)

Stumped?

Put the number three in your calculator.

Now hit the square root button.

1.732(and a few more), no?

You will now remember two facts the rest of your life:

George Washington was born in 1732.

The square root of three is 1.732.

Two useless bits of trivia for the price of one.
