I'll think of a good title later

Exactly how many is a brazillion?

,

Who Can Name the Bigger Number? Is a really interesting article that discusses really big numbers funnily enough. I thought I was doing pretty well on the challenge set at the start of the article using a paradigm of stacked factorials eg. 9!*9! (131681894400) would quite happily beat the equivalent stacked exponential of 9^9 (387420489).

Interestingly Opera's Math object thinks that 9!^9! is infinity, but I guess web browsing doesn't really require that sort of computational range!

You can skip the mathematics in the article it still makes for a good read.
