Googol it!

So, my last post was about misspelled protest signs. When I “googled” that search term, I found out an interesting tidbit. Google was supposed to be called Googol, meaning 10¹⁰⁰, the number represented by a 1 followed by one hundred zeros. Apparently, the founders were poor spellers. They trademarked Google and bought the web domain before realizing they misspelled it! I’m sure everyone else in the world already knew this. Still, I found it very funny.
