Set your clocks for 6:02 a.m......

.....because tomorrow is National Mole Day!

Kendra brought this to my attention, and well it should be the focus of any good chemistry student.

I've just learned about it myself, so have not had a great deal of time to prepare for any big festivities.

Offhand, I'd say we're going to start celebrations by sleeping in until 7:00.

I encourage everyone to brush up on their mole pledges, which go as follows:

I pledge allegiance to the mole, and to the science from which it comes, one SI unit, extremely divisible, with micromoles and millimoles for all. (Provided by R. Thomas Myers - Kent State University, Kent, OH)


I pledge allegiance to the mole, to the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, and to the atomic mass for which it stands, one number, most divisible, with atoms and molecules for all. (Provided by Sylvia Cooper - Morgantown High School, Morgantown, WV)

There are even free (e)greeting cards to send to loved ones and/or people who have a knack for blowing things up in the lab.

So let's show some Mole Day spirit!

In redundant news, Detroit provided more unexceptional music for the World Series game this evening.

There's only so much underwhelmedness a person can take....
