Every other site on the web must be green with envy! Alan, they only have to Register, but yes you are spot on. What a great bunch we have here, but don't forget to continually harrass your family and friends to join POE because that's the route to survival. Other than that we might have somebody like the mighty Google wanting to buy the website, what then my friends? |

I just looked it up myself (but I'm not cheating because I've know what it was since I was a kid). But I actually had the spelling wrong for the word I'm thinking of. It's pronounced google, but it's actually spelled googol.

Ruth Gregory Posts: 8072 Joined: 25th Jul 2007 Location: USA | quotePosted at 14:10 on 6th October 2008 Spot on, Ron!! Very good. It's 1, with a hundred zeroes after it. It's bigger than a zillion.
