 Just to be pedantic: the accepted spelling is "googol".
 
 10^10 is ten billion. 10^100 is a googol, and 10^googol is a googolplex.

 Carl Sagan did an episode of "Cosmos" which dealt with large numbers, and 
devoted a segment of it to the googol. He pointed out that there's not much 
in the physical Universe that comes close to this number -- the total number
of elementary particles in the Universe is thought to be on the order of 
10^80. 
 
 Then again, there's always the national debt, but as Ross Perot pointed out,
that's all the fault of some extraterrestrial conspiracy anyhow.

The Kresge Auditorium here at MIT isn't for exams (at least I have never
had one there).  It's for the arts.  It basically looks like what would 
happen if you took a triangle piece of cloth, flapped it into the air, and
then nailed down the corners.  But this is made of lead and concrete
and has windows all around.  It's also got another and smaller auditorium
underneath the main one.

When I was in high school (a long, long time ago) we once had a substitute
chemistry teacher who attempted to demonstrate the reaction of sodium and
water. Now, the sodium in our lab was kept in a jar full of light mineral
oil. So he takes a tiny piece of sodium out of the jar and drops it into a
beaker of water. Nothing happens (since the piece was coated with oil). So
he takes a bigger piece and drops it in.  Nothing happens. He takes an even
bigger piece and drops it in. About this time, the oil diffuses off the
first two pieces, allowing them to cantact the water. That reaction rinsed
the oil off the biggest piece.

It was spectacular.

Re: Microwave Fun
Three things. First, it didnt explode when the guy opened it, it
exploded when power was restored to the room (Seagals character had shut
off the main breaker). 
Second, it would work fine. Watch Under Siege, and take note of what he
puts where and how much. Youll find that the original message in this
thread is not correct in the contents. Id tell you, but I want to make
you watch the movie because I think youll also get a kick out of the
cellular-to-satellite rig he sets up.
Third, for a truly amazing do-it-yourself special effect, put large
unbroken, fresh eggs in the microwave, set it for 10 minutes. Then pick
up the microwave door from across the room.

I believe that this was wrongly changed from "true" to "false" because of the
blatherings of one of the NZers who complained that the CIA wasn't bugging his
toothbrush.

Clearly, the phrase implictly means "everything important".
I would like to request that the line be reinstated as:
T. The CIA, NSA and 11 different secret govt organizations tap & bug everything they can.

For example, listening to a public policy discussion on public radio on Dec 24 
1992, I heard a man identify himself as the CIA employee who monitors Usenet!
[Hi Roger.] Also, the US and British Govts record all transatlantic telephone 
conversations for reasons I can only speculate on.   

The way the FAQ stands now, it makes it seem as though the US government does not
intrude on private communication, when the opposite is the case.

	Saw it happen once, though. I was in North Carolina about 10-15

bad electrical short, smoke started pouring into the cab, and by the time
the passengers and driver bailed out flames were coming out the dashboard.
In a very few seconds, the whole car was engulfed in flames.
