Mole Day

My chemistry class had a Mole Day party today at lunch.
-
Notice the "chemistry cake" in the middle. The pan behind that is full of "apple molumplings" and the box in front is "a mole lot of cupcakes." Lots of other themed food as well. Somebody brought chocolate molk and molk duds.

Definitions:
A mole is a chemical definition for the number of atoms - it's (6.02 x 10 to the 23rd power) atoms.
Avogadro is the man who discovered this.
Mole Day is celebrated on 10/23, from 6:02 a.m. to 6:02 p.m.

Mole Day jokes:
What fruit does Avogadro eat in the summer? Watermolens.
What is the mascot of the Florida State chemistry department? The semimole.
What did Avogadro teach his math students? Moletiplication.
How much does Avogadro exaggerate? He makes mountains out of molehills.
What cream did Avogadro invent for his wife to use? Oil of Molay.
Why was there only one Avogadro? After he was made, they broke the moled.
Why is it bad to tell mole jokes? They're moleitically incorrect.

Sorry. Those are bad enough. There are worse ones out there.
