I was just wondering if anyone knew the highest handicap possible - both men and women.

FOR MEN is it - 36, 36.4, 49, or 50

FOR WOMEN is it - 40, 40.4, or 55

I must be missing something because I thought it was like 30...

The maximum Handicap Index is 36.4 for men and 40.4 for women. (See Section 10-5d.)

Note: A maximum Handicap Index will convert to a Course Handicap that exceeds these numbers on golf courses with a Slope Rating greater than 113.

In the UK at any rate, men can go up to 28.4 and women to 36.4. I think they had women's handicaps up to 48 for a bit but dropped it.
