And now that I'm on a googol kick, something interesting from the googol.com website:

Googolhedron - A 3 dimensional shape bounded by 1 x 10^100 similar polygons. This shape would look very much like a sphere. Having this many sides or facets would make it smoother than any man made object. Although, you could never have a googolhedron because there are not a googol particles in the universe.

I find it quite amazing that we're actually dealing with a number here (with IPv6) that outnumbers the amount of particles in the universe. I'm not a mathematician, I'm blonde, and easily impressed, but this just boggles my mind.

It's just like the magic of compound interest!
