Don't know if this is common knowledge, but I recently figured out that google stands for Go Ogle.

I couldn't help but think of that commercial for a laptop where some fella was caught ogling.

"The name "Google" is a play on the word googol, which was coined by Milton Sirotta, nephew of U.S. mathematician Edward Kasner in 1938, to refer to the number represented by 1 followed by one hundred zeros. Google's use of the term reflects the company's mission to organize the immense amount of information available on the Web."

Uh, no, it doesn't. Google is some large power of 10 number. Supposedly far beyond Trillion and what not. I forget how many actual zeros.


EDIT: Yeah, what he said ^^
