"Do you have 
?
How about the big number for your page: Googol B5180497 ."

I do, but isn't that likely to keep you awake all night?
Ta for the pic, but shouldn't that be left for whoever bags Ugoogol?

Traveller in Time counting zeros
"Hmm, this gives me a floating decimal drifting far away.
Expected to be given away in 2250. 
There is one problem, the user numbers cycle over 2^32 .
A perfect example of the MOD function, 10^100 MOD 2^32 = 1410065410. This makes researcher < U1410065410 > the same as Ugoogol
This will happen (very rough guess) in 2015 
. Sad while this also means the DNA sites will be full. "

Trust me to do that. Start a thread about who will be U1000000, and then miss the moment that someone takes one that esteemed mantle. And miss it by four days, at that.
My timing couldn't really get any worse could it?

"Sorry for the inaccuracy, it is just these numbers run at a very irregular pace. I would even suggest it is the users. "
