Didn't Descarte gain a lot of weight in France so hearing that the food was, well, not quite the best side of English culture, he voyaged over to Blighty in order to lose some weight, and found that not only did he accomplish his goal, but he became rather the athlete. He was so qood at billiards they dubbed him the "Rene Reedy Reachee" I've got my mukluks on. |

24 Aug 06 - 08:11 PM (#1818286) Subject: RE: BS: Guess who I met in the pub the other day From: Nick Nonsense - originally from googol the number coined by nine-year-old Milton Sirotta, nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner in 1920. The Internet search engine Google was named after this number. The original founders were going for 'Googol', but ended up with 'Google' due to a spelling mistake on a cheque that investors wrote to the founders. |

Google = 10 to the 100th power. Googleplex 10 to the 100th to the 100th a number so large that it cannot be written. If you could inscribe every subatomic particle with a zero ( and a single one with a 1 you do not have enough matter in the known Universe to write out the number. I don't know what this has to do with meeting strangers, turning into bars and pubs or that little wussy Descarte but thought you might like to know if'n you didn't know already. |
