Was it Elvis with that song they remixed and released whose name I do not know?

No, it wasn't an Elvis song, although Elvis holds the record for the most posthumous chart toppers. You are probably thinking of the JXL remixed version of "A Little Less Conversation", which went to the top of the charts in something like 2002.

How about "Sitting On the Dock of the Bay" by Otis Redding?

That song did become a hit after Redding died, but it was not the first posthumous hit (that was something like 8 years after the first one). I will give a hint - think of a movie (bio of sorts) which starred Gary Bussey.

In reply to You are right :-) Next question is yours (nm) » Toph, posted by TamaraJ on May 13, 2005, at 16:40:29
Who made one of the greatest astonomical discoveries in American history in 1877?

In reply to Question #2, posted by Toph on May 13, 2005, at 17:15:41
Asaph Hall discovers Phobos and Deimos, the moons of Mars?
Posted by Toph on May 13, 2005, at 19:29:01
In reply to Re: Question #2 » Toph, posted by Shy_Girl on May 13, 2005, at 17:40:23
Why the obscure query, she asks? Well, it's not because Asaph Hall represented the classic rags to riches, pull yourself up by the bootstraps, American tale that we all love.
http://www.harvardsquarelibrary.org/UIA%20Online/hallasaph.htmlNor was it because he fell in love with his mathematics professor who ended up being the unsung impetus behind his great discovery (not to mention a feisty feminist well ahead of her time).
http://maia.usno.navy.mil/women_history/hall.html
No, I posed this question because Asaph Hall was my great, great grandfather. I know, your happy for me. Well, apparently my wife shares the same sentiments. The other day I was reminding her of my famous lineage. Unimpressed she said, "Astronomy must run in the family, I heard they just discovered rings around Uranus." And you wonder why I have low self esteem.
Anyway, I'm sure this is more information than you want to know Shy_Girl. Congratulations on giving the correct answer. I look forward to Question #3.

>Correct Larry!
Sto-Vo-Kor is the afterlife for the Klingon honoured dead.
Also, Gre'thor is where the dishonoured Klingons go after they die.
You've go the next question Larry! :o)
(Thanks, this really lifted my spirits :o) )

What is the name of the very large number 10^100?
(That's a 1 followed by 100 zeros).
Supplementary question. What is the name of the much larger number 10^10^100?I include the supplementary question because they are very similar answers.

Yes googol, is the answer. (Also spelled google, though incorrectly so. I thought it was neat where the name of the search engine came from.)

> googolplex?Yes. That is 10^googol (or 10^10^10^2). There is a still larger defined number, though. It's Skewes' number. That's e^e^e^79, which is approximately 10^10^10^34.
