weaktwosThanks to a lovely conversation with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dslartoo while he was supposed to be working, I was either reminded, or learned for the first time, of Avogadro's number. For those who are forgetful/ignorant like I am, Avogadro's Number is 6.022 x 1023. That is to say, for any given chemical substance, there are 6.022 x 1023 molecules per gram mole.
A lesser known fact of Amadeo Avogadro is that he is a descendent of Gollum1.
And an ancestor of Betty Davis2.
Now you know.3

1. No.
2. No.
3. Hell no.

It's amazing how many moons keep falling in between high school, college, and now. Well, it's not amazing really, but still, it is.
