just let me know when you've found a googolplex and i'll be impressed

i was quite skeptical of lizardbutt truly being only
FIVE years old, as he uses more "worldly"
expressions and apparently understands subtle irony
better than most of my 35-year-old friends.

however, even my FOUR-year-old daughter knows that
lizardbutt's "L" count should be spelled
GOOGOL (not google, as in the search engine)!

because of this elementary (pre-school?) error, i am
now convinced that he really IS five, and all his wit
and wisdom comes completely from him...

Well, I decided that LB's birthday is February 29, and therefore
falls only every four years. Four times five is 20 (plus any
additional years). Sounds a wee bit more reasonable.

OR LB is a dog, and in DOG years is five. Seven times five is 35 --
also more reasonable. The only thing is, unless he has really tiny
paws (chihuahua??), typing must be a chore!

Sorry -- WAY off topic here!

ROFL--that image is just too funny.


Just how many zeros are there in a googolplex?

a googol zeros!

(a googol has 100 zeros)

i'm sure lizzardbutt knows for sure, but i think that if every bit of
space in the known universe (and there is A LOT of empty space) were
COMPLETELY filled with electrons (and they're pretty SMALL), the
total number of electrons would be quite a bit less than a
googolplex...

ok, now we return you to our regulary scheduled letterbox
programming...
