In summary, a conversation about renaming Valentines Day to "Monopole Day" in honor of the 1982 Valentines Day Monopole caught in Blas Cabrera's lab at Stanford. It was a perfect specimen but unfortunately, no other magnetic monopoles have been found. Some joked about getting real chocolates or ones with no reproducible evidence on Monopole Day. The conversation also briefly veered off to a news article about a teenager painting a phallus on their roof.
