I’m google for google puffs.
Silly rabbit.

10 to the 100th power. A googleplex is 10 to the google’th power. (Yes, I know you were almost certainly being facetious 
).
And yes, you can look that up too, but I do grant that disentangling the math google from the corporate google is a little messy

Maybe, but not as messy as a Grand Googol.

So, is it pronounced new-get or nugget? I could ask in the original thread but it’s much more fun to bother people.

Looks French, I’d go with New-Go just to be pretentious. Then I’d do the sterotypical French “Auh Auh Auh” laugh.
You can be so silly. Cluricaun’s comment on the French reminded me of your comment on gargles – those little statues on buildings that look like demons and monsters. Notre Dame in Paris is overrun with them.

They are only called gargles in Tuscaloser, but you knew that, didn’t you?
Here’s another vote for preferring an answer from fellow dopers over some crap provided by Google. It’s not bothering anybody. Dopers have enough sense not to type an answer if they don’t, uh, you know, want to type an answer.

What’s a “google” ?

Don’t know; maybe you should Alta Vista it.

Nah. It is always better to Dogpile it.
I got really stoned once and ate a whole case of Mars bars. I think I shit nougat for a week after that. Does that count?
Yeah, I don’t understand the problem here, for two reasons (all covered above, but here’s my version of them):
-Yes, people can look stuff up, but you cant discuss a topic with a reference article - that’s what people generally want when they post topics here - discussion - not just answers.
-‘Bother’? No. Bothering people is when you knock on their front door in the middle of the night and get them out of bed to ask them about nougat. Posting a thread (that you can easily just ignore) on a message board (that you aren’t even compelled to attend) isn’t ‘bother’ by any kind of reasonable definition.

Nah … it’s a Japanese secret agent … .
As the poster who is being ranted about, I would like to say that thanks to the OP, this thread has accomplished my goal much better than the original thread could.
Who here doesn’t know what nougat is now? Sure, I could have looked it up myself, but would any of the rest of you learned something? It isn’t the answer, it is the sharing of answers.
