Am reading an awesome book, "Google" being the story - so far - of Google.
Did you know that simply typing in your Post Code, followed by weather, it gives you an instant weather forecast for your home address?
Or that you can type any maths sum in, in words OR numbers, & it'll instantly calculate the answer? So, "nine by twenty seven" brings up "two hundred & forty three", or 1012 divided by 350 brings up 2.89142857 - in a nana-second!
"Google" is a derivation of "googol" apparently, which is a big number - 1, followed by 100 zeros.
More to come until you are all asleep.

We did the maths thing before.....also does conversions.
There are many neat tricks for example if the blonde search function is down (actually very frequently) then go to google and type {what you are looking for} site:blondepoker.com/forum and it will search just the forum.
e.g.
apat site:blondepoker.com/forum

Sometimes you have to suffer a little bit in your youth to motivate yourself to succeed in later life. Do you think if Bill Gates got laid in high school, do you think there'd be a Microsoft? Of course not.  |

Oh, and type answer to life the universe and everything multiplied by half a dozen divided by the square root of four into Google.
