Quote of the Day 47

A two for one:

BigE "Is it okay if I clean up before we go inside?"

Dada "Yeah ... sure"

-----------------------------------------------------

BigE "Do you know what the largest number is?"

Dada "What?"

BigE "One Zero Zero. 100."

Dada "What about one thousand?" (A concept BigE seemed to pick up last week)

BigE "No one hundred is bigger."

[I think there is something to note in the general case here. To the average person a real large number is the largest number that you can understand. It doesn't matter how many zeros you add or talk of infinity the largest number is the largest number that you can mentally picture.]
