Never heard of this one. Did anyone in the UK realise that 23rd October was "National Mole Day"? Nothing to do with small burrowing creatures though... Apparently it's got something to do with chemistry. Here's a quote from the relevant website...

"National Mole Day commemorates Avogadro's Number (6.02 x 10^23)

To thoroughly enjoy National Mole Day, one must first understand what a "Mole" in Chemistry is.

A "mole" is a basic measuring unit. It equals the atomic mass of a single molecule. It is measured in grams. This measure was discovered by Italian Amadeo Avogadro.

Chemistry teachers celebrate this day, by getting kids more interested in chemistry. They create special lesson and lab experiments around the theme of chemical measurements.

Why celebrate from 6:02 a.m., to 6:02 p.m? Look at the chemical formula for a mole. It starts with the number 6.02."

I didn't see any cards marking this occasion on sale in my local newsagents though
