:music:
A mole is a unit
Or have you heard?
Containing six times ten to the ... twenty-third
That's six, with 23 zeroes at the end
Much too big a number to comprehend
:music:

It's a stupid number. If you are going to count atoms, why the hell was such a random number chosen. a mole should be 5*10^23 or some easy number.

I had actually forgotten about this from Chemistry class way back in the day.

Of course my first thought was about the other type of mole :)
