Nthfinity, has an infant assumed control of your keyboard, or at least your spelling ability? That was hilarious to read. 
And i have no idea what you are referring to with the numbers?

Google '1 googol', for the answer.
"A googol is the large number 10100, that is, the digit 1 followed by one hundred zeroes."

It's a somewhat well known fact that the name "Google" was a typo/misspell from one of the founders when he was registering for the domain.
|
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."
