If a pizza has a radius of Z and a crust height of A, the volume of that pizza would be .... pizza.

Since the volume of a cylinder is PI, times the radius squared, times height, that would mean a pizza with radius "Z" and height "A" would have the volume of… PI * z * z * a.

Found this interesting so I found this passages on a wiki page

Quote:

A typical book can be printed with 106 zeros (around 400 pages with 50 lines per page and 50 zeros per line). Therefore, it requires 10^94 such books to print all the zeros of a googolplex (that is, printing a googol zeros). If each book had a mass of 100 grams, all of them would have a total mass of 10^93 kilograms. In comparison, Earth's mass is 5.972 × 10^24 kilograms, the mass of the Milky Way galaxy is estimated at 2.5 × 10^42 kilograms, and the total mass of all the stars in the observable universe is estimated at 2 × 10^52 kg.

To put this in perspective, the mass of all such books required to write out a googolplex would be vastly greater than the masses of the Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxies combined (by a factor of roughly 2.0 × 10^50), and greater than the mass of the observable universe by a factor of roughly
7 × 10^39.

The selfie stick was patented in 1983, but there was little interest in it.
The patent holder allowed the patent to expire in 2008.. Just when the selfie craze really took off.
