Coincidence or Google - Merkel connection ? Dig call.

Stumbled across this oddity:

Google's name was deducted from the term "googol" which stands for a large number: one followed by 100 zeros.

The guy who coined that term was Edward Kasner, an American Jew and Mathematician.

Guess who else is called Kasner ? Angela Merkel. It's her maiden name. (And she's a physicist).

There have been rumors for ages that she is Jewish, but I don't have the time right now to see if there is a closer connection.
