Today is the longest day of the year! And so is tomorrow!
Yes, I know the equinox was two days ago. Nonetheless:
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER TWENTY-THIRD
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER TWENTY-FOURTH
[ed: not "twenty-second" -- thanks, Elizabeth!]
A tie, as you see, with 29 letters each. Or 31 symbols if you count the punctuation. Which I do; surely
TWENTY-THIRD
beats SEVENTEENTH
by a hyphen?
The ideal candidate would be a
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER TWENTY-SEVENTH
. But we won't have one of those until 2017.
For runners-up this year, we have several candidates:
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY TWENTY-EIGHTH
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY TWENTY-FIFTH
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY TWENTY-EIGHTH
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER TWENTY-SECOND
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER TWENTY-SEVENTH
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER TWENTY-SIXTH
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER TWENTY-EIGHTH
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER TWENTY-FIFTH
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER TWENTY-EIGHTH
Those are 30 symbols each. Much too common, really.
Let's stick with discussing today (and tomorrow). I would propose a new title for these two interesting days -- the
ONLY 2009 DAYS WHICH NEED 31 SYMBOLS
. Unfortunately my paradoctor is running towards me, waving some sort of paper and screaming, so I'll have to break this post off and find out what she wants.
