It’s Friday morning, which means it’s time for some lighter fare in a crazy, mixed-up world.
On Thursday night, in the course of “researching” potential Quizzo questions, I stumbled across a Siri trick that – until that moment – I didn’t know existed. I'm woefully late to the game (as evidenced since this January story), but whatever.

I’ll wait.
Still going, isn’t she?
Almost sounds like the background track for a rap (and/or other style of) song, doesn’t it?
You’re not alone in thinking so. In fact, numerous folks have uploaded YouTube videos incorporating the spoken-word answer that equates to 1e+120.
Enjoy them below, but don’t blame me if you have “Zero, zero, zero, zero, zero …” in the back of your head all day. Because, chances are, you will.
Anyway, hope you enjoy as much as I have:
Want to know what happens if you ask Siri to deduct even one figure from that tally? YouTube's got that for you, too:
