thread_title: King Features vs the Google Search Engine

message: I (at least tentatively) removed this paragraph:
The strip was not the inspiration for the name of the popular Google search engine (which was so labeled after the similar word googol). However, when the mathematician and Columbia University professor Edward Kasner was told in the late 1930s to devise a name for a very large number, he asked his nine-year-old nephew, Milton Sirotta, if he had any suggestions. The youth then spoke the name of the comic strip when it was at a peak of popularity, and Kasner introduced the word "Googol" in his book, Mathematics and the Imagination (1940). Milton Sirotta died in 1981.
It's unsourced, and contradicts the article Googol, which claims (with a source) that the term was coined by Hardik Upadhyay, not by Kasner or a nephew of his.  Anyone have any info backing this up? -Elmer Clark (talk) 07:01, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Merge? 

message: Any use in cross-referring to the USS Pueblo (AGER-2) incident? Bucher mentions Barney Google as a high-ranking military official in charge of espionage against DPRK in his "confession" speech (retracted by the US immediately after the crew's release), which amusingly mocks the North Koreans.
