A googol (10^100) is larger than the estimated number of elementary particles in the know universe (10^80) (counts both quarks, gluons, electrons and all others).
There is an old english law, wich has never been declared outdated, that sounds "Every man in the millitary must train achery at least two time a week."
Due to the expansion of the univers it is impossible to measure electromagnetic waves from objects further than (10^10)^29 meters (a hubble volume) away from any observation point.
The first car driving/gunfighting sandbox game in 3d was not GTA3 but Body Harvest for Nintendo 64.
The gamer term w00t is no acronym, and infact it's origin is a very debated matter.
Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is the first Zelda game ever to have been released in the start lineup of any nintendo console.
Originally Mario was intended to be a carpenter.

Until recently Poland had brothers as prime minister and president. Not only brothers, actually, they were IDENTICAL TWINS. Actually one had a small beauty spot whereas the other did not, so they weren`t technically identical, but it still caused a lot of hilarity and embarassment and the same time.
The Swedish army is the only one to conquer Moscow for more then a day.
Kiruna, a Swedish city with a population of 23,235 was the largest city (landwise) in the world during the 80ies.

this is wrong, it's not a liquid, it is a solid and they aren't thicker it's just poorly made glassBlue Sonnet said:
Haha I knew that actually, my friend lives in Washington and just just mentioned it the other day. Was it on the news or something?TheNecroswanson said:
on topic, If you spelled out all the numbers and tried to find the letter 'A' you wouldn't come across it until you reached a thousand.
No he's right. Glass is accepted as a liquid because it has none of the properties that define it as a solid. A solid has a complete structured base, glass does not. They are just random, like water or mercury. To prove it even further, if you heat up glass you aren't melting it, just making it thinner. You can't melt a liquid. Just because it doesn't flow like water doesn't mean you should to count it out. Don't judge a book by its cover.cleverlymadeup said:

Actually, there isn't any good answer as to whether or not it's a liquid or solid since it displays properties of both and is atypical in the way it changes phases, so you could argue that both ways.cleverlymadeup said:
As for why the panes of glass are thicker on the bottom than the top in Medieval windows (and they are), it's because at the time, glass panes were made using the Crown method. Sparing most of the tedious details, the final step in the process is to spin a flattened blob of molten glass until it forms a thin disc, and then cut that disc into sheets.
Since centrifugal force consistently pulls material from the center outward, the final disc of glass ends up being thicker along the edges than in the center. When panes are cut, this translates into one side (the one cut from the edge) being thicker than the side opposite (the side cut from the center). For the sake of stability, panes of glass made this way are installed thicker side down. So, Medieval window panes are usually thicker on the bottom than on the top, but it isn't the result of glass flowing anywhere. They were that way the instant they were installed.
