  g? NA
  Hey, cool... they have c, h, pi, phi, e, G, Avogadro's Number (but not NA)
  
  BUT, no g. Hmmm, maybe because g isn't really constant.
  
  You said it, fun!

  Funnily enough, just this morning, I was trying to find out what the scaling factor is when one says
  "nano". eg nano. Real pity that neither the "scientific" calculator on my desktop, nor this google calculator were of any help to me.
  
  But, but, but, pretty cool stuff all the same and I
  came *this* close to discovering this new feature before you. :-)

    I didn't discover it. I got it off the Google Weblog.

    nano is 10^-9: nine-nano
    
    -1, -2, -3, -6, -9, -12 and -15 are deci, centi, milli, micro, nano, pico, femto, and i think it's atto for 10^-18 but I could be wrong.
    
    The other direction is deca for 10^1, hecto for 2, kilo for 3, mega for 6, giga for 9, tera for 12, and I don't know what else.
    
    This ends my showing-off for today.
