another fine example Dwarf , the answer i was looking for was-

9, the age of the small person who coined the word "google" to represent the number 1 followed by 100 zeros

Neat. The word was actually googol and it was initially intended that Google was to be called that to represent the amount of information the search engine was designed to handle. See http://graphics.stanford.edu/~dk/google_name_origin.html

Good link, Kathryn. I'd not thought of that. It just goes to show that there is often more than one way to link seemingly unrelated words.
