Okay, Mole Day has nothing to do with rodents or turncoat spooks or melanin spots.
One mole of objects is 6 x 10^23 objects (well, 6.0223 x 10^23, [Avogadro's number] to be precise, but the calendar doesn't support that unless you "celebrate" it once a century). I know, duh! But hey, someone makes up this stuff...
... and it's found in the HP 33S, 49G+ constants library!
