Why stop at a googol? Somewhere in the mathematical perusings of my childhood I came across the googolplex, a 1 followed by a googol of zeroes. A very large number.

Kasner also made up googolplex out of googol. See GOOGOL link in the post.

The fuzzy remnant of a math nerd in my brain asks the following question:

If we continue in this manner, googol, googolplex, googolplexplex (1 followed by a googolplex of zeros), etc...

Does this series grow faster than the factorials?
