If not, is it becauseof this? In the days of old when airplanes had open cockpits and no altimeters, the pilots didn't know how high they were flying and would suffer from hypoxia. They started to bring a rooster along as they were more sensitive to this condition. By watching the rooster, the pilots would know when they are flying to high. Did you get your second answer yet?

Pan was too hot for frying eggs (new Farberware spatula melted!), bread was too think (it is sold as "Texas toast" bread and is about 3/4 to 1 inch thick) and soggy and never got hot enough. Experiment used up 5 eggs, threw away all the result. Shopping for cooking stuff (pan, bowls, plate, thermometer, ingredients etc.) was fun; actual cooking experience was OK, but nothing edible resulted from it. Might try again sometime.

The Best Little<b>Whorehouse</b> in Texas ...3 months before 9 months till this same day :lol: Dolly Parton ‘Chick-Chick-Chicken Ranch’
 :lol: :lol: Down at the Chick-Chick-Chicken Ranch
Where a lonely girl could have a chance
And a homely boy could find romance
At the Chick-Chick-Chicken Ranch
The sheriff and Miss Mona for years have been
Red hot lovers and real good friends
But trouble snowballed like an avalanche
At the Chick-Chick-Chicken Ranch

When Melvin Thorpe, a reporter of sorts
A self-righteous, crusading fanatic
Got on TV like you wouldn’t believe
And pointed a finger right at it

Exposin’ Miss Mona and accusin’ the sheriff
And it rose to a roar from a whimper
It got all outta hand; the fit hit the fan
When Thorpe stirred up everyone’s temper

The Chick-Chick-Chick-Chick-Chicken Ranch
Has been recouped into song and dance
And I know you wouldn’t want to miss the chance
To come to the Chicken Ranch

It’s foot-stompin’, rug-rompin‘ sexy good fun
Come on down and bring someone
There’s good times and trouble and fiery romance
At the best little Texas Chicken Ranch

Y’all come back now, ya hear?

The Best LittleWhorehouse in Texas …3 months before 9 months till this same day :lol:

I suppose googolplex, which is a 1 followed by googol zeros, was just a quick way to get another word. Interesting fact: Google got its name because the creators wanted to imply that it could find googol results. A typographical error changed the name to Google, and that spelling stuck. Another interesting fact: the number of atoms in all the universe does not even come close to equaling googol. apparently, there was a mathematician named Edward Kasner who came up with a number that is a 1 followed by 100 zeros. he asked his nine year old nephew to come up with a name for it, and his nephew chose Googol.
