Today, October 23, is National Mole Day in the USA.
What kind of mole would you guess is being recognized?
.
Have you made your guess? If not, I’ll wait.

Okay! Here’s the answer:
.
Even though Avagadro’s number is something I learned in high school Chemistry that I simply CANNOT FORGET (although I can easily forget almost any other number that exists), I still didn’t put it together that the date 10/23 was related to 10 to the 23rd.
I do not have 10 to the 23rd images to share with you on National Mole Day, but the number is somewhere between 10 and 23.

Here’s what I find when I search for “National Mole Day” on YouTube.
Thanks to all who are helping me celebrate National Mole Day, including YOU!

I was rooting for the Mexican sauce to be the answer, Ann, topped by photos of Michael’s special dinner to honor holy mole day!
Michael gets a break from cooking on Saturdays, Mark, so that’s a spaghetti dish from one of our favorite restaurants, which was holy moly delicious!
That’s a good weekend plan, Ann!
This is a fun post and I was dancing along to that scientist’s video. Loved loved the octopus coat hooks. I’ve never looked at them that way before.
You have more than 6.02 * 10 ^ 23rd great ideas for posts, Ann!
Thanks for all your great ideas and your support, my friend.
Because I’ve never been very good with numbers my mind went right for the star nosed mole, a remarkable animal that is actually able to smell underwater. But I think we can say that moles are a wonderfully large and diverse club.
Thanks for another remarkable comment, Chris.
that would have been my last (never) guess for the meaning of mole day, i didn’t even know it was a math term. why i probably always have done better with the literacy side of things )
I love your side of things, beth.
