What in real life can be described in terms of a googol? 10^(100)
I have one to think about.
Suppose you have a deck of cards and on the backs of all the cards you have a logo or something that tells you if the card is upside down or not. And you take the deck and throw it up in the air and gather the cards together off the floor. That deck with all the cards facing away and toward you, upside down or right side up is one of 52! x 2^(52) x 2^(52) or over 1.6 x 10^(99) possible decks (about 1/6 of a google). If you add a joker to the deck and do the same the number of possible decks is between 34 and 35 googols. Over 3.47 x 10^(101)

A couple of corrections: it's spelled "googol", not "google", and a googol is 10^100, not 10 x 10^100.

Obviously it's been a long time since I studied math closely. Yeah, I've probably slipped on the spelling as well from time to time. We're so inundated with Google searches, it's easy to slip up on that.
