Re: Why do we have the number "googol" (not google)? (1 with 100 zeros...)

Quote:
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. Lawrence E. Page: "Lucas Pereira: 'You idiots, you spelled "Googol" wrong!' But this was good, because google.com was available and googol.com was not. Now most people spell 'Googol' 'Google', so it worked out OK in the end."
In the closing ceremonies, I recal something about people not being able to spell when they used the google search engine. How ironic.
