Let's rename Valentines day and call it "Monopole day"

In honor of the Valentines Day Monopole of 1982 caught in Blas Cabrera's lab @ Stanford. It was the perfect specimen.And sadly, no other magnetic monopoles have every been found...yet. So happy belated monopole day to everyone here @ physicsforums! :smile:

Would we continue to get real chocolates, or ones with no reproducible evidence?
