The local chemists haven't added a choice C) to any of the signs that I've seen, but a few did correct choice a) (it should be 6.022, not 6.023, and there really ought to be units...).

There are some others, including a shot from Snakes on a Plane and the caption "Like Animals? Join Bio Club!", but this was the cleanest and cleverest of the lot.
