Because seven ate nine." and "what did zero say to eight? Nice belt.".)
It also has a slightly naughty, but nice, side. You see 10^24 is the largest number with an SI unit, which is Yotta. And Yotta Number is well-known behind twitching curtains in the suburbs of the city of 20, where it frequently runs somewhat risque dinner parties involving giggling, cream (remember ordering the cream buns...) and trifles.
All in all, a very fun number.
