From Wikipedia: A googol is the large number 10100, that is, the digit 1 followed by one hundred zeros in decimal representation.The term was coined in 1938 by Milton Sirotta (1929–1980), nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner, when he was nine years old. Kasner popularized the concept in his book Mathematics and the Imagination (1940). A googol is of the same order of magnitude as the factorial of 70 (70! being approximately 1.198 googol, or 10 to the power 100.0784). In binary it would take up 333 bits. A googol has no particular significance in mathematics, but is useful when comparing with other very large quantities such as the number of subatomic particles in the visible universe or the number of possible chess games. Edward Kasner created it to illustrate the difference between an unimaginably large number and infinity, and in this role it is sometimes used in teaching mathematics. Other names for googol include ten duotrigintillion on the short scale, ten thousand sexdecillion on the long scale, or ten sexdecilliard on the Peletier long scale.

- Google got it's name from the word Googol, which represents number 1 followed with hundred zeros after it. Fact!
- RT @zxjinn: Googol=10^100. A binary Googol would take 333 bits. Whoa.
- @EvilEyeMonster I think it's a play on words, goggle and googol combined, but that's just me.
- Odds are approximately 1 in a googol that 333 coins tossed will all land heads up (2^333 = 1.7498... × 10^100) WIki: http://bit.ly/cKK3ED
- @ripmilla Thanks a Googol times krab for retweeting :)
