National TV Talk Show Host Day. I don’t watch any of the TV talk shows.
National Mole Day. I know of 2 kinds of moles. There’s the type you can get om your skin and there’s the little critter than makes tunnels all over our yards. Neither deserves a day of recognition, in my opinion. So I looked it up to see which of these things it’s about. Turns out it was neither of these. Here is what it said,
“NATIONAL MOLE DAY
National Mole Day recognizes a special number in chemistry. We’ll eliminate any visions of a burrowing creature celebration immediately. Chemists and chemistry students mark the occasion each year on October 23rd.
More specifically, the celebrations take place between 6:02 AM and 6:02 PM. In the U.S., the time and date are written 6:02 10/23. The time and date are derived from Avogadro’s number. Avagadro’s number is approximately 6.02×10^23. Hence, defining the number of particles (atoms or molecules) in one mole of substance, one of the seven base SI units.
A mole is a unit of measurement used in chemistry to express amounts of a chemical substance.Avogadro’s number is a historical term closely related to the Avogadro constant.The Avogadro constant is named after the early 19th-century Italian scientist Amedeo Avogadro."
