All it really says is that the number 25, when converted to base 8, is written 31. They could just as easily ask why is St. Patrick's Day (17) like Martin Luther King Day (21, at least this year,) or why is Valentine's Day (14) like Emancipation Day (16)...

I'm used to seeing it written How far apart our worlds are. I've never even heard of it until now.

Read it! I would probably say it is my favorite book. Some of the notes added in the most recent addition aren't all that great, but all of the original annotations are fascinating.
