I Think a Group of Them is a "Labour"
FYI, Monday was "national mole day," a holiday in honor of the "mole," which for you non-chemists is the conversion factor from atomic masses of atoms/molecules to grams, 1 mole = 6.02x1023 particles. So, for instance, 1 mole (6.02x1023 particles) of carbon-12 atoms will have a mass of 12 grams. Nifty, huh?
Well, some well-meaning but incredibly silly people actually did think it was that nifty, so they invented "national mole day" to honor this...um, sadly unrecognized unit. The holiday was to be celebrated from 6:02 AM to 6:02 PM on October 23. (6:02, 10-23. Gettit?)
They have Mole Day merchandise, "Ask Monty Mole" for all your pressing mole questions (don't ask him to do your chemistry homework, he hates that), and even gods help us a Mole Day Theme, which is every bit as insipid as you might expect.
You know...I'm all for educating people, but...yeah.
