Here's my four ha'pennies :blink: (or 2/25ths of 2 bits?):

I have long held the theory that there are only 200 people in the world because I can only comprehend 200 people at one time. (I made this up in the early '90s, and Jimmy Buffett didn't write about it until a few years ago, for those of you who keep up with this sort of thing.)

When you're talking about gazillions and googols, those are not numbers. They are bunches. I can comprehend 200 bunches of numbers, and the bunches can be as big as you want as long as they stay in bunches.

Kurt and BR, you're talkin' crazy talk. Let me know when you want to discuss something between 1 and 199...
