. OCT is an abbreviation for Octal which is base 8. Dec is an abbreviation for Decimal or Base 10 (which is how we normally count). In Base 8 the number 31 is equivalent to 25 in base 10. So it is a true formula. I told you it was geeky.

Ummm...okay.

You want geeky, though? Yesterday was mole day, in celebration of Avagadro's number, 6.02 X 10 to the 23rd power. 10/23. Get it? I know, it's awful. But I remember that ever since my high school chemistry teacher once threw us a Mole Day Party in Chemistry class on October 23rd.

CRAP!! I shouldn't have killed any rodents yesterday.

I once knew a chemistry geek that had a license plate of PV NRT (The ideal gas law).

I can't see images while at work. But based on the name (geeks.jpg), I won't be pleased. You have until 6:00 PM to change it, otherwise I will have a new photshop entry using that picture and you.

[Iron Shiek]

Haha. Its only a Old Theater Marquee type of sign with "The Geeks Shall Inherit The Earth" on it. So you can save your efforts...ha.

I love the ultimatum though, that was freakin hilarious. "You better change it by the time I get home dammit!"

Mole Day...LOL. I haven't thought about that in 15 years. Nice.
