What Cool Random Fact was new to you Today?

Please explain the above

A googol is the large number 10100; that is, the digit 1 followed by 100 zeroes:
10,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000,*000

That's the 100 zeros, it fitted.
Are you sure your fact isn't something else?

Googol = 10^100
ElliorR suggested = 10^(10^100)

You wrote out a googol (10^100) which was 10 followed by 100 zeroes
What you need to write out (and ElliorR is saying you can't) is 10 followed by a Googol of zeroes.

A local road is named Worry Goose Road after a local scrote named Jethro was caught "worrying" geese by a farmer.

And many Import Japanese cars in the UK have flares (fireworks) in the passenger footwell.

Many people also drive the said cars onto ferries every day (illegally) as they are not allowed to transport potential explosives/pyrotechnics without informing customs

Up until fairly recently I thought peanuts grew on trees.

You were probably getting confused with spaghetti.

More importantly, peanuts aren't nuts. But I already knew that. Damn.

A Dutch hoe is also a gardening implement.

The loganberry is a cross between a blackberry and a raspberry.

Why fireworks, is it a sales thing?

It's a road flare to indicate an emergancy, Japanese traffic law indicates you have to carry one (along with a warning triangle, equivalent to an MOT cert, insurance and driving license) in the car at all times.

I'm guessing that cars which have been imported will automatically have the manufacturer's included one in them.

10^Google = Googleplex
