To add to the humor, the "Googol" name was specifically chosen. I'm sure 
this is due to the number of messages that must be included in 2TB of 
messaging logs.

As reported on dictionary.com and many other places.
goo·gol (ggôl)
n. The number 10 raised to the power 100 (10100), written out as the 
numeral 1 followed by 100 zeros.[Coined at the age of nine by Milton 
Sirotta, nephew of Edward Kasner (1878-1955), American mathematician.]
