Over the last 2 weeks I have been working on a project that might sound strange to some people, but it was actually quite fun! First, let me provide some background knowledge, as you might know there is a type of scientific measurement called the mole. The mole is a unit used when dealing with atoms and molecules, one mole is 6.02 x 10^23, a mole is one of the most used units in chemistry despite only being used when dealing with things at a molecular level. As for the project, our class, including me, all created moles, but not scientific moles, actual moles! like ones that live in the ground, we made them using fabric and fiber fill. The class wanted to be creative, so we all gave each mole a different theme, mine was a MOLEgician. The project overall was a load of fun despite the amount of times I poked myself with the needle while I was sewing the fabric. I assume the project was originally assigned to express the importance of the mole to us, and I believe that it worked because as soon as I was done making my mole I looked up the origin and use of the mole and why it is important, and I agree, it is very important. Here is a site that helps with conveersions using moles:
Chemwiki, and here is a link that etaches about the history of the mole:

This was my Molegician.
The whole concept of Mole Day was very confusing to me, but I think as I got into it more, I began to understand how our mole represented 6.02 x 10^23 the size of a real mole. I thought that was very clever! I would rate your mole a 9.5/10, mostly because the top-hat is incredible. Still not as cool as Darth Mole though... :D
