Happy Mole Day
For those for whom Pi Day just isn't enough.
Mole Day
Mole Day is an unofficial holiday celebrated among chemists, chemistry students and chemistry enthusiasts on October 23, between 6:02 a.m. and 6:02 p.m., making the date 6:02 10/23 in the American style of writing dates. The time and date are derived from Avogadro's number, which is approximately 6.02 × 1023, defining the number of particles (atoms or molecules) in one mole (mol) of substance, one of the seven base SI units.

Well, shouldn't it be Mole Minute, to be observed annually on June 2, at 10:23 a.m. (which is 1023 hours in military time)?
