                If 10^100 is a googal, then 10^109 must be a gigagoogal.

                And if you had a gigagoogle of aviation eyewear, why then
you'd have one
                gigagoogal goggles.

                And if you had a multiplicity of gigagoogal goggles, you'd
have a
                gigagoogle goggle gaggle.

                And if the gigagoogle goggle gaggle fell into the ocean,
you'd hear a
                gigagoogle goggle gaggle gurgle.

                And if the sound of the gigagoogle goggle gaggle gurgle
caused silly
                laughter, then... sorry, I'll stop now.
