Check the html source for this additional tidbit<p><i>&gt; The following day, Tamara entered the office she shared with Sean and Larry, and saw &quot;google.com&quot; as the final name remaining on their whiteboard. Recognizing the misspelling, she brought it to their attention. Sean checked the domain name registry for &quot;googol.com&quot; and found that it was already taken. Larry said he preferred the &quot;google.com&quot; spelling anyway, and when he and Sergey later received their first angel investment check for $100,000 from Andy Bechtolsheim, it was made out to &quot;Google Inc.&quot;</i>

I can&#x27;t remember if I knew the word &quot;googol&quot; before I knew this story or not. I think I may have encountered it in World of Mathematics in high school. Or I may be misremembering and making up a pretty story to make myself sound smarter than I am.<p>Human memory is so weird sometimes.

Back when you could register the domain you wanted because some dickhead didn&#x27;t squat it to try get 75k out of your idea for a startup.

I read something recently that claimed that Googol (the mathmatical term) was in fact a corruption of Google in the first place, though the evidence is thin, it&#x27;s vaguely plausible:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;goodcomics.comicbookresources.com&#x2F;2008&#x2F;05&#x2F;15&#x2F;comic-book-urban-legends-revealed-155&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;goodcomics.comicbookresources.com&#x2F;2008&#x2F;05&#x2F;15&#x2F;comic-bo...</a>

One of the early pop-culture mentions of googol was Peanuts, 23rd Jan 1963<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.peanuts.com&#x2F;search&#x2F;?pubdate=&amp;sort_by=bydate&amp;seasonal=&amp;startdate=&amp;enddate=&amp;selectcharacter=&amp;keyword=googol&amp;type=comic_strips" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.peanuts.com&#x2F;search&#x2F;?pubdate=&amp;sort_by=bydate&amp;seaso...</a>
