Ever have one of those memories that tug at the very edge of your consciousness, poking you a little, but without being about to remember exactly what it is? I’ve had one of those solved this week. I remember reading a comic book where the bad guy was called “The Googol”. I had remembered it briefly when Google opened shop, but I couldn’t remember the reference. It came back to me the other day, so I searched and searched on-line, convinced that it was a Tintin story. It wasn’t. It was this.
Glad I cleared it up. Irritatingly, I should have just used Wikipedia, as there’s a reference to it in on the Googol page.
