The Highest Number we Have A Name For (1 Viewer)

[Henry Gale]

I would be willing to bet that the entire blizzard that hit the Buffalo, NY area last week contained at least a Googol of individual snowflakes.

I'll take that bet!

Forget googol, too small, according to my dictionary - Zillion - is an indefinite large number, no limitations, endless zeros.
I feel better saying there are a zillion stars in the universe, than saying there are a googolplex number of stars, sounding like I started hiccuping mid sentence.

I'll take that bet!

Just knowing the widespread area and the depth of the snowfall, had to add up to a googol of individual snowflakes.
A Googolplex is another bet

There isn't even a googol number of elementary particles in the known universe.
If a zillion is such a huge number, what about a gazillion?

I've seen "gazillion" used in the legal world. An incarcerated, persistent inmate filer submitted a civil rights complaint on the back of a paper sack demanding relief which included release from prison and damages from the government in the amount of $1 gazillion. Good thing he didn't win, or this country would be in more debt than Argentina.
