This mole in not the furry little animal. This mole refers to Avogadro's Number (6.02 x 10^23), which is a basic measuring unit in chemistry. I do not understand it, nor am I even going to attempt to. But if you are so inclined you can start at About.com for a brief explanation.
To prove that chemistry geeks have a sense of humor these Mole Day definitions and jokes can be found at The National Mole Day Foundations website.
