The Mole!

In science class we watched a movie about the MOLE. A mole is defined as spicy sauce often containing chocolate. So of course I was surprised when the movie turned out to be about chemistry and stuff. But then I realized that sauce probably has something to do with chemistry. Especially spicy sauce. I was watching and listening, listening and watching, when it finally dawned on me. This movie was not about spicy saucy sauce. It was about the small furry rodent that boroughs underground! It suddenly all made sense. The references to molar mass, the animations of boxes, the creepy narrator, the idea that we need a universal number to measure atoms. Of course this was a reference to the small little rodent. Or was it?

As the evidence materialized, I began to piece it all together. There must be some other definition for the mole! It obviously was not the now infamous spicy sauce and it wasn’t our furry little friend, what could it be? I began to get frustrated. How could I possibly know what this informative video was about? The the idea struck me. Listen to the video! As I focused my ears on the video (FOOOOOOCUSSS!!) I learned something. The animation was worse than Finding Nemo! Of course most animations, especially in a movie about the mole, are worse than Finding Nemo. Nevertheless I noticed it. I also noticed another thing. The narrator kept repeating that a mole was a gram molecule: the molecular weight of a substance expressed in grams; the basic unit of amount of substance adopted under the Systeme International d’Unites. Could this be a clue? Read Episode II to find out!

Episode II
Yes, it was a clue. Why else would it be the ending statement of Episode I? Read Episode III to find out!

Episode III
Because that is just how episodes work. You end the previous ones with an interesting question that will be answered in the following episode. Doesn’t everyone know that? Read Episode IV to find out!

Episode IV
Apparently everyone does not know that. Just trust me on this one. And plus the joke of starting new episodes solely to get more space taken up is wrong. And my readers do not like it when I do something wrong. Do you? Do you? I will take your silence as a no. So I apologize for offending you. I also apologize for going completely off topic. I actually forgot what the topic was, and seeing as moving my pointer finger on the mouse’s scroll wheel to see the topic is way too much work, I’m afraid I will have to end without closing my post. Or will I? Read Episode V to find out!

Episode V
I’m sorry. Seriously, I am. That will never happen again. Or will it? Read Episode VI to find out!

Episode VI
No, this is really the last time. I mean, it is not even funny any more. Or is it? Read Episode VII to find out!

Okay, now even I am getting a little annoyed by this. Or am I!
