Factorial 70 (that is, 70 x 69 x 68 x ... x 3 x 2 x 1) is
a) Over a million
b) Over a trillion trillion trillion
c) Over a googol
How do you prepare for the end of the world?

Never love anyone who misquotes Oscar
Sep 27, 2012
Someone posted a quote attributed to Oscar Wilde in the 'h2g2 Motto' thread:
"Never love anyone who treats you like you're ordinary."
My antennae jangled. Would Oscar have made such a use of the word 'like'?
Quick google: plenty of pages give this quote as one of Oscar's, none citing a specific source.
Googled again, for a quotation site, and found this wonderful engine: http://www.online-literature.com/quotes/quotations.php
Sure enough, the phrase "love anyone who treats" came up with no matches in the works of Oscar Wilde, or any other of their 267 covered authors for that matter.
Just to see that the thing worked, I entered the phrase "never love" and from Oscar Wilde's works it returned six uses:
The Importance of Being Earnest - Act 1
My own one, I have never loved any one in the world but you
The Duchess of Padua - Act III
You never loved me.
(~returned twice)
Lady Windermere's Fan - Act I
Don't say that, Margaret. I never loved any one in the whole world but you.
Vera, or the Nihilists - Prologue
She'll never love you unless you are always at her heels
A Woman of No Importance - Act II
swore to me positively on his knees that he had never loved any one before in the whole course
Panthea
pine to pine the eagle flies. Ay! had we never loved at all, who knows if yonder
(I have restored capitals and cleaned up these results a little.)
Wow. Got to love the technology 
Ukulele Festival of Great Britain
Jun 5, 2012
Got back from the festival in Cheltenham last night. A lovely festival, specially the pub sessions with the Winin' Boys, Gerald Ross, Manitoba Hal, Remco (Ukulelezaza), Paul Moore, Lorenzo (Ukulollo) and our pals Helena & Nora, as well as the organisers, Ally, Jude, Phil and Tony, and various other enthusiasts.

The looked after us wonderfully and the organisation was preternaturally good. Bravos!
