Blako Posted March 12, 2007 CID Share Posted March 12, 2007 1. A 1,200-pound horse eats about seven times it's own weight each year. If a human ate in proportion to a lion, they would have 50 Cheeseburgers a meal (how many meals does a lion have?). Americans that consume Coca Cola are likely to ingest 100Lbs of sugar a year. Over the course of your life you will shed 40Lbs of dead skin cells. One quarter (or is it 1/3) of the world's population does not know how to make a phone call. The most recognized phrase in the world is "OK". The second most recognized phrase in the world is "Coca Cola". trillion = 1 with 12 zeros Googol = 1 with 100 zeros = 10100 = 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 googolplex = 1 with a google of zeros P.S. When my brother was in kindergarten the teacher said googolplex was not a number. Its ok to argue with yourself... as long as you don't lose the argument.
