14. Seconded
It always gets me that it is cool in most circles to hate math. Anti-intellectual culture, ours...

13. Robb is a DUer chronically given to posting polls
where the last option is "Robb is a dingbat." It's sort of caught on.

20. I wrote a song about that number
...in HS chemistry class:

Got a mole!
Met my goal!
I've got 6.02-times-ten-to-the-twenty-third atoms!
In a mole someone crams
Atomic weight expressed in grams
So you can have your mole and weight it too!
Honey everything's comin' moles of hydrogen
Everything's comin' up moles of helium
Everything's comin' up moles for you and for me!
