Song for the Day

Is this another one of your annoying contests about guessing why this is the song for the day?

Zen said...

Catching tune
simple lyrics
but not that easy to dance to

I give it a 5

Tillerman said...

Anonymous - yes

Zen - I thought the main characters in the video had a certain chemistry for each other.

Avogadro said...

I know the answer, but I'm not telling.

Tillerman said...

You don't really know. You can't read my mind. You just have an hypothesis.

Avogadro said...

No, that's Pythagoras who had the hypothesis.

Baydog said...

I prefer Mole de Poblano with a side of mashed Avogadros with chiles and lime

Tillerman said...

Avogadro - Pythagoras had a theorem. A theorem is demonstrable; a hypothesis is tentative.

Baydog - your profile says you are a restaurant manager. Please let us know the name of your restaurant. I want to make sure I don't accidentally go there.

We're not getting any nearer to explaining why the song is topical.

Clue: the time of posting is also relevant.

Avogadro said...

I'm telling you, I've got your number.

Avogadro said...

Hokey smokes! I just looked at the time you posted this. Right on the money!

Baydog said...

Tillerman: In my restaurant, jackets are not required, but drysuits and soggy boots are rigorously discouraged.

Tillerman said...

I think Mr. Avogadro may actually be on the right track. Let's see if anybody else can get the answer before he reveals it.

This video about a mole was posted at 6:02 on 10/23.

Baydog said...

6.02x10 to the twenty-third is Avogadro's number

Carol Anne said...

Just so long as nobody mistakes an abogado for an avocado. Courtroom puree.

Avogadro said...

Pythagoras didn't care about demons, he cared about the hypothesis.

The sum of the squares of the sides equals the square of the hypothesis.

Tillerman said...

Quite right Baydog.

Mole Day is an unofficial holiday celebrated among chemists in North America between 6:02 AM and 6:02 PM on October 23.

The time and date are derived from the Avogadro's Number, which is approximately 6.02×10 to the power of 23, defining the number of particles (atoms or molecules) in a mole.

For a given molecule, one mole is a mass (in grams) whose number is equal to the atomic mass of the molecule. For example, the water molecule has an atomic mass of 18, therefore one mole of water weighs 18 grams.

Mole Day was created as a way to foster interest in chemistry. Schools throughout the United States and around the world celebrate Mole Day with various activities related to chemistry and/or moles.

So now you know why I posted a mole video at 6:02 AM on 10/23.
