And I just realized how solidly I had blended memories together. In '89 I was in the second-year chemistry class. I taught it in '91. But we still geeked out about it.

Did you celebrate Mole Day too?

It looks like Mole Day only goes back to 1991 so apparently I missed the opportunity.

We had a Mole Day party in AP Chem this year. It was quite a bit of fun. We made molerific molecakes (to put it in my Chem teacher's words).

I think the 1989 one was the only one that mattered too, but at least this thread (unlike similar ones on other boards I frequent) hasn't degenerated into one of those general number-patterns-observation-fests that inevitably results in a predictable snore-fest on the topic of six-hundred and sixty-six. I actually volunteered to slaughter a chicken and examine its entrails on another board where that happened, I was so peeved. *snorts*

Anyway, um, thanks for this not being that.

A friend of mine used to have a street address of 667. She always said she was the neighbor of the beast.

Wasn't there some album called 668 Neighbor of the Beast? Sounds familiar.

Edit: It was called '665 Neighbor of the Beast' by a metal band called Radiobaghdad. :D
