I have always liked the word google. It is a funny word. I remember a song (when I was a child) that had a lyric "Barney Google with the goo goo googly eyes."
I just checked the word googol (pronounced the same I believe) which is the number 10 raised to the 100th power or 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000. That number is more than the number of elementary particles in the universe, which is said to be just 10 to the 80th power. Since October 2009 Google has been assigning domain names to its servers under the domain "1e100.net" One would get the impression Google will never run out of space to store all of our names and accounts.
I think some of the first partial words babies utter are googoo and gaga, or maybe that is what parents say when tickling a child's tummy or under its chin; I do not remember that exactly. I remember a type of fish we used to catch called a "goggle-eye" and that sounds sort of like google. Lest I forget, goofy, which is an adjective, or a name for a Disney dog which had his own dog named Pluto. Oh and gooey is another word I like. Mom used to make a gooey butter cake that everyone enjoyed.
