What's So Odd About Today?

Do you feel odd today?  Well, you certainly have justification.  Today’s date is three consecutive odd numbers:  7-9-11

And what’s even odder is that there are only six days each century that three consecutive odd numbers make up the date!

The odd sequence that began on Jan 3^rd 2005 (1-3-05) was followed by Mar 5^th 2007 (3-5-07) and then May 7^th 2009 (5-7-09).  Other than today, there will only be two more odd days for the next 100 years:  Sep 11^th 2013 (9-11-13) and Nov 13^th 2015 (11-13-15).
