fun fact about google. Google offered to pay $6,006.13 to Sanmay Ved, who bought the Google.com domain for $12. It ended up paying twice that amount to a charity he picked.

I learned this while taking a Java class, the googol part and just remembered the joke in the class about how Google misspelled the word.
Player #28181276
if googol is 1 to the power of 100 and is also a male, does that mean that it's probably exaggerating and it's more like 1 to the power 70?

Player #28181276, 1 to the power of 100 is still just 1 I’m afraid. A googol is 10 to the power of 100.

“Halt and Catch Fire” ~ great tv series of that place and time. Fictional stories of how the computer industry got started in the Bay Area.

Player #2911918, Oprah Winfrey’s name is one of the most famous mistakes I know of. Her parents MEANT to call her ORPAH, which is the name of a woman in the Old Testament…

Derek87, no, a googolplex is one with a googol zeroes. A googol times a googol is just a one with 200 zeroes.
Wannabe Vulcan
Player #28181276, which would be one in either case. Ten to the power of whatever makes the joke easier to follow.

LordGregory69, and a googolplex is a 1 with a googol zeroes after it. It means quite a few.

Google would be a Virgo 😆✨

A googol is a number that is best defined as 1 followed by 100 zeros

Interesting bit of history that I may not have looked up otherwise. Just “BackRub” it instead of “just Google it” would sound quite funny though

many things come from serendipity like post it notes from glue that didn't work right ... Cereal was created as a meal for sick patients, etc... many top hits from the 'B' side of the record ...
