which says:
"The American mathematician Edward Kasner once asked his nine-year-old
nephew to invent a name for a very large number, ten to the power of
one hundred; and the boy called it a googol. He thought this was a
number to overflow people's minds, being bigger than anything that can
ever be put into words. Another mathematician then shot back with
googolplex, and defined it to be 10 to the power of googol."
