    We all know that, according to google, the number of cached pages at google is around 8 billion pages.

    1. Now check the following URL soon:
    http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&rls=GGLJ%2CGGLJ%3A2006-06%2CGGLJ%3Aen&q=google+cached+8+billions
    You will see this as the first result:

    Now click the URL and you will find the phrase replaced with:
    Here is why:

    2. Now check this URL:
    http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&rls=GGLJ%2CGGLJ%3A2006-06%2CGGLJ%3Aen&q=-ghhhuuuuhhhh
    These are the results of pages NOT containing ghhhuuuuhhh (i.e. all cached pages at google). This way, you will be able to know how many pages are currently cached at google! According to my geo position and local google, google has:

    18,740,000,000 pages​

    Interesting, huh? :)

    Yes now it gives 25,270,000,000 here too :)
    WOW this is four times the old number (8 billion)!

    commandos: all of these searches mean the same: give me the pages which do not contain this term (hhhhhhhhh, hjhfjfghjfhf, or any weird, impossible term). Thus, google will return the number of all cached pages. That is one of my funny inventions.

    Well, showing pages that do not contain an impossible term is more accurate :)

    Thanks for the addition.
