    [keptillion is my word for beyond an infinite number]

    You make up a word to mean a very large number and in your next post you use the word Google.  Google is the misspelled googol which is 10 to the power of 100.  Googolplex is 10 to the power of googol and is a very large number indeed.  So, next time there’s no need to make up a term, just use the one you know.

    True but my word keptillion, I have decided [;)], is the largest number in the Universe! Unintended consequence of using Google![:)]

    Inquiring minds want to know:
    How many googolplex are in a keptillion?

    Sonny was one tough SOB CTF. could also throw some mighty fine passes.
    Norm Snead ended up with the Giants and didn’t fare very well, but
    Eli isn’t doing much better.   
    Are you closed on Sunday?
    I don’t want to get there on a Sunday and find the padlock on the door and the pulled pork nowhere in sight. 
    Since you claim to be Irish, what’s on the menu March 17th ?

    OK CTF I can visualize chewingtheass of the guilty party —is that where you got your Roadfood name Chewing the fat?

    On to the next question—-Now I know that Blarney is Irish Bull, what I don’t know is ———–what is irish Bull ?

    Now a statement about Irish telling lies, that, sir, is a fabrication—–we may often stretch the truth (to it’s very utmost often) but lie, God forbid. 
    Saints Preserve us !!!!!!!!

    Sounds like you run a tight ship.  Keep up the good work.  I plan to be there Christmas Day 2014 for dinner, mark it down. 

    Irish Bull is what the both of us are serving up right now! With a cold Harp!!
    Oh yeah, Chewingthefat, came from serving up Irish Bull!!!

    Hate slugs—-yuckee things—-ate more of my garden than I did.  Yusta hunt them at night with flashlight and a box of salt. 
    I will have to try Google to see what Guam got to replace the snakes.  How about St Patrick ?  He drove the snakes out of Ireland.  Or, mongeese as Michael suggested.  Mongooses just doesn’t sound right, not politically correct.

    Ancient One, in the Islands Mon, not nice to goose![:D]

    Just a little snippet I just read re:Electric Cars.  A study just conducted shows that recharging an electric car’s battery 
    causes 3 times the  pollution than running it does—-so it may be that the pollution savings isn’t very much at all.  More to come on this I am sure.

    Mr Kozel, that settles it I will not move to Maryland.  I didn’t know about this additional tax or fee.  But fie on the fee, I remain where I am and my money stays with me.  Unless, of course,  I get a hole in my pocket. 

    CTF how come you were home drinking 6 cold ones yesterday?  Is Chubby’s closed on Sunday?  McNabb looked good for an old geezer.  My Giants need some of your rejuvenation soup.  Maybe a lot of it.

    After 6 cold ones, no desire Ancient One, to chat with a State Trooper!
    Indeed he did, first time the Skins stole a Qback fromm Philly, was Sonny Jurgensen, we traded Norm Snead for him. I hope the trade comes back to haunt them the same way Sonny did!

    The result of much study on the Guam—-Frog/snake situation————

    I had to satisfy my curiosity —what happened to the snakes if no one brought in a troop of mongooses?

    I found this story in the 8/10/2008 edition of Science Daily.  And I quote—–

    “—–unchecked for many years the brown tree snakes introduced 60 years ago have caused the extinction of nearly every native bird species on the Pacific Island of Guam.”
    Also———–they have attacked children, pets and even caused power outages.

    This article was based on the experiment gone wrong that I mentioned in the first post Re:The Law of Unintended Consequences posted by that learned Gentleman About Town Chewing The Fat. 

    Chewing—you are teaching us all things we didn’t know. 

    O Ancient One, Your last statement simply underlines the Law of Unintended Consequences![;)]

    CTF how do you have time for all you must do and still hang out on Roadfood with a bunch of old guys who have nothing else to keep them awake.   It’s a hard life you lead.  Until I retired officially I never had time for the computer .

    As Rf Members can attest to, my Dell sits at the end of my Bar, I’m only in the Kitchen when we’re shortstaffed, I watch all the food going out and test different foods on the Steam Table on a whim, if something ain’t perfect, I Chewtheass of the guilty party. No one in the kitchen wants to be the object of my irritation, they rarely are. otherwise I sign checks, make a weekly Costco run, sometimes twice. Otherwise Ancient One, I sit here posting, listening to customers, talking to most all, asking how they liked their chow, where are they from, telling them lies, you know, the Irish thing![:D]
    PS. Blarney is a Irish Bull, served up in huge portions, so thick, it’s tough to cut with a sharp knife!!

    Mr. CTF, being from Maryland, here’s an example that might impact you directly. What happens when you raise taxes on the ‘rich’.

    http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124329282377252471.html http://online.wsj.com/art…24329282377252471.html

    The Maryland Legislature, and Governor, are a menace to the very rich as well as the small businessman like myself…they have taken to the term “fee”, not a new tax, a new fee, like raising the fee for septic disposal, 300%.
