All together now: The chart weight in grams...

...is a mole, is a mole!

Dear readers, I have a confession to make. I almost forgot that today is National Mole Day. A major hat tip to alert reader JT for preventing such a calamity (calamole-ty?).

Anyway... Happy Mole Day!!!



Alas, interest is apparently so high that the National Mole Day Foundation's website has actually crashed under the traffic strain. OH, THE MOLE-MANITY!!! I blame Ned Lamont supporters. :P

P.S. In honor of the day, ACORN has registered another 6.02 x 1023 new voters in Indianapolis. Meanwhile, earlier today, Barack Obama was seen palling around with several elitist, unrepentant chemists.

Not to be outdone, Sarah Palin celebrated Mole Day by shooting six moles from a helicopter. (She was unable to figure out how to shoot an additional .02 of a mole.) Asked whether she understands that Mole Day is actually about molecular chemistry, not furry animals, Palin replied, "You betcha!"
