HAHA Mole Day!!!
A Meeting of the Minds
Characters:
Clueless Guy - a clueless guy, or so you think
Informed Guy - an informed guy, or so you think
Setting: A classroom, much like Dr. Vasta’s
(Clueless Guy walks into classroom)
Clueless Guy: Just a boring old random day… oh how boring it will be.
(Informed Guy runs into classroom out of breath)
Informed Guy: Stop what you’re doing Clueless Guy! There is a vital piece of information missing from your thick skull!
Clueless Guy: And what would that be Informed Guy?
Informed Guy: It’s Mole Day! (Gleaming in his eloquence)
Clueless Guy: Mole Day?
Informed Guy: Yes, Mole Day! The day set aside strictly for celebrating that which is known as, Mole.
Clueless Guy: Mole? Like the pesky little rodent?
Informed Guy: No!
Clueless Guy: Like the one on my back?
Informed Guy: (Disgusted) No!
Clueless Guy: Like the…
Informed Guy: (Interrupting) No!
Clueless Guy: How do you know what I was going to say?
Informed Guy: Because you’re an imbecile! But fine, please, enlighten me with your simplistic intelligence.
Clueless Guy: Mole, that which is associated with Avogadro’s number. Such named by the 19th century Italian scientist, Amedeo Avogadro. (Informed Guy is shocked) Shall I continue? (Informed Guy is in awe) Sounds good! Avogadro’s number can be applied to any substance, for it “directly applies to the molecules needed to make up a mass equal to the substance's atomic or molecular mass, in grams.”
Informed Guy: But how did you…
Clueless Guy: Shush! I’m not finished. Now where was I? Oh right. “The value of Avogadro's number depends on the definition of the mole, which depends on the definition of the kilogram. Both definitions especially that of the kilogram are arbitrary: the kilogram system is currently based on the mass of a particular "standard" bar of metal in France. This means that the particular value of Avogadro's number is the result of convention, there is no physical reason for it. Hence, Avogadro's number is not a fundamental constant.” (Informed Guy’s eye begins to twitch) Is that what Mole Day is meant for?
Informed Guy: Uh…Uh…Uh… How di di di did, ya ya you, know tha tha tha that?
Clueless Guy: Internet.
Informed Guy: (exploding) What?!?!
Clueless Guy: www.wikipedia.com
Informed Guy: oh
Clueless Guy: yup
Informed Guy: I hate you.
Clueless Guy: (smiles) Happy Mole Day!
