To: a fool in paradise

>> Gordon is a math teacher from the Redwood City,California and has pointed out that today’s date, written in the American format, 5/7/09, is one among six in this century.<<

It’s among six WHATS this century?

>> Gordon finds the day a perfectly odd, excuse to celebrate the day with some odd celebration! <<

A perfectly odd WHAT?

Why isn’t 5/7/11 perfectly odd? or 5/7/13? Or 5/9/13? or 5/11/13?

I think they have to be in sequential order, i.e., 1/3/05, 3/5/07/, 5/7/09,...11/13/15. Sadly, when written out without the slashes, none of these are prime. Now that would have been something to celebrate!
