trivia

Chewing gum while peeling onions will keep you from crying. and this gem.."A number one followed by 100 zeros is known by what name?" which was a question on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? when the now infamous Major Charles Ingram attempted to defraud the quiz show on 10 September 2001. The answer? : Google! - well,..sort-of (Googol) - but I believe its what Googlas we know first got the idea for their name. The company name Google is a misspelling of the word "Googol" made by founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, as described in the book The Google Story by David A. Vise.
