SAN FRANCISCO - Today's an odd day, because it's Odd Day. When written as 11/13/15, the date is made up entirely of odd numbers.
Those in awe of this oddity might want to pause to ponder at 21 seconds after 5:19 p.m.
That's when the date and time (if you're working in military time) would be written<span style="color: Red;">*</span>11/13/15 17:19:21.
You can't get odder than that.
Pay attention, as there won't<span style="color: Red;">*</span>be a repeat for quite awhile. Odd days only come six times in a century and this is the last one for the 21st.
The<span style="color: Red;">*</span>calendrical odd-man-out won't come again for 90 years, when Jan. 3, 2105 rolls around. Then it will be<span style="color: Red;">*</span>1/3/5.
The non-holiday is most fervently celebrated<span style="color: Red;">*</span>by retired math teacher
Ron Gordon, who lives in San Mateo, Calif.
He's established a contest for the most people involved in the Oddest Parade of Odd Day Characters. The winners will receive the date, in dollars<span style="color: Red;">*</span>— $1,113.15.
Gordon has some suggestions as to how to celebrate: do some odds 'n ends, give a friend a high-five, root for the odds-on-favorite, watch the
Odd Couple, find missing odd socks<span style="color: Red;">*</span>and beat the odds.
