Chocolate Capacitance
Halloween has come and gone. There are two ways to tell. First, there is the dehydrating Jack ‘O Lanterns. But more importantly there is the Pawn-the-Kids-Candy-Off-On-My-Coworkers-Before-I-Eat-It-All scheme. Which means for a week or two after Halloween there are bowls and baskets of candy all over this place.

Please Note: I did not do this. They were sitting on top of a filing cabinet already labeled. I am not responsible for this nerd-fest. Mostly beacuse I didn’t think of it first.
