Happy Mole Day!

"A mole is a unit, or have you heard?
6 times 10 to the twenty-third!"

6.022..*10^ 23

So at 6:02 on 10:23 we celebrate.

:)

By the way the :) just celebrated it's twenty-fifth Birthday. Some professor invented it for use with his students in 1982. I heard the details on the radio yesterday can't remember exactly. Just one more great thing to celebrate about the eighties (of course it didn't become truly popular until Al Gore invented the internet :)).
