    And 10^100 is a [​IMG].

    Actually, it's spelled "Googol"

    This is the "k" thread.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(TonyPSchaefer @ Nov 27 2007, 09:40 PM) [snapback]545003[/snapback]</div>
    This belongs in the "g" thread.

    Perhaps you can get a moderator to move it.

    The one I always liked was a googolplex: Ten raised to the power of a googol, or a 1 followed by a googol of zeros. Expressed as 10^(10^100) the actual number cannot be written because there would not be enough matter in the universe to make the paper and ink to write it down.

    <div align="center">We apologize for the fault in the posts.
    Those responsible have been sacked.

    The rest of this thread will be completed in an entirely
    different style at great expense and at the last minute.

    I am amused that Google calls their headquarters The Googleplex.

    Ob. K: Did I say "I am amused"? I meant to say "I think it's keen".

    krazy responses, yet unintended. :p

    For me, the pockets of my kilt keeps K'nex kollectibles and Kix in kleenex. (yeah, I know, Kix is for Kids).

    Not in the OED. Therefore, not an English word.

    P.S. Looked it up on Wikipedia. Apparently it's a made-up word from an episode of The Simpsons, where Bart lays down his tiles at random in a scrabble game.

    Not an English word.
