October 23 is National Mole Day
It’s this kind of Mole aka Avogadro’s Number

It’s a unit of measurement used in chemistry. Mr. Chalker, my high school chem teacher would crap a mole (animal) if he knew I was writing about this. The old reprobate.
Mole Day is celebrated annually from 6:02 am to 6:02 pm by chemistry nerds and number nerds in schools throughout the U.S.

Exactly what is wrong with today’s educational system. Instead of studying all the minutiae about Avogadro’s number, its derivation and use among scientists, they make it another “let’s-have-cupcakes-and-make-up-jokes” day.
Wake up Moles! Math and numbers should be boring and tedious.
Welcome back from the controlled substances world. You seem like your old self again.
