Thread: Celebrate Amedeo Avogadro

  1. #1

    Default Celebrate Amedeo Avogadro

    Hooray! Today is Mole Day!

    Between 6:02 AM and 6:02 PM on October 23, we celebrate the existence of this number which is the number of particles in a mole. Not a blind ground-burrowing animal, you twits! A mole!

    How are you celebrating Mole Day?

    Do you like arbitrary made-up holidays? I sure do!

    the first member to get a mole of posts should get a reward.

    Last year we celebrated mole day by getting gum thrown at us in Chemistry lecture.

    A lot. WOULDN'T IT BE CRAZY IF A MOLE CONTAINED A MOLE OF MOLES?

    Why was the informant's balloon empty of helium?

    The mole leaked them.

    Avogadro's number was nice because it was easy. No one informed me today was mole day though.

    My Chemistry teacher doesn't mind moles. But he's terrified of the kilomole.

    "They said this day would never come. They said our sights were set too high. They said this country was too divided, too disillusioned to ever come around a common purpose. But on this January night, at this defining moment in history, you have done what the cynics said we couldn't do." - Barack Obama.

    You should KNOW.

    6:02 on 10/23, get it? Like how Pi Day is March 14th? 3/14? Tell me this is getting through and is making sense to you.

    My mole day ends in 10 minutes.

    I get it, but I'm too lazy to figure these things out.

    Whoo, mole day.


    Moles are pretty cool, but I'm finding this difficult to get excited about

    I wrote '10 23' on the table in materials to convey the fact that it was mole day to my friend.

    then I read a lj post by a chemist celebrating it.

    I've also inhaled several mol of O and N and consumed several mol of C.

    My chemistry teacher at school had a speed impediment and couldn't pronounce "Avogadro's number", so it came out as "Avocado's number" every time.
