Ok just for fun let's have your random facts with a bit of wobble about them.

I'll start smile

A googol is 10^100 or
10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

A googolplex is 10^googol or 10^10^100

Written in the smallest available font it would be longer than the width of the universe wobble

but not to worry because as there are only about 2.5 × 10^89 elementary particles in the observable universe there's nowhere near enough ink to write it anyway ! hehe

and just for good measure did you know that the company name Google is a misspelling of the word "Googol"

Over to you smile

The film "Pretty Woman" was not meant to have a happy ending. Julia Roberts' character was meant to be kicked out of the car at the end after Gere's character caught her taking drugs.

Soon a poster will inform you these aren't "random" facts, merely lesser known facts, and how they hate the modern perceived overuse of the word random.

Anyway, the rarest album in the world is Jean Michel Jarre's Music for Supermarkets.
