1. are you searching for a google?

old style definition?

[swag]

2. They have those now?

[Tom Kitten]

3. I don't think so

I've never been able to find a definition of google or zillion, let alone gazillion, on the internet, or for that matter, anyplace ever.. So I my efforts are stymied so far...

5. Here you go, then

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google#Etymology

a one followed by 100 zeros (googol)

Remember centillion, so famous in our grade schools at one point, the one followed by 600 zeroes?

And the extended family of zillion?

11. my bad!

I misspelled googol as google, I couldn't find a thing, and that just let the wind out of my sails...'
without clicking on the link how ever did the prefix cent- get to represent 600 zeroes when I thought cent- meant 100 as in century...

12. Yeah, that's weird about centillion

It doesn't mean what it should mean.

That's why we're behind the rest of the world in science education.

Being a plain spoken person myself, I have no idea what you are talking about tonight......

Are you trying artfully to get to 7000?

If so, count me in as helping...or even if you aren't!

9. I probably drop your name too much.

But I like the nice tables and the complimentary burpwater.

10. Oh you like the nice tables? And the complimentary burpwater....

Well, I can surely get those for you, my dear swag...

Right this way, please sir, if you would be so kind....
