I wondered where that was from (I know, I could have just asked), so I just entered the whole thing into a Google search.

Here's something that came up -- {FTW?}

I wonder sometimes about the stuff you find stored on the web. Someone's research, leading ... nowhere?

2:35? Wimp. On monday I was up till 6:00AM.

Well, I made it to 4am, then ran out of things to do, so I clambered into bed and sat in the dark until the sun came up. I think I drifted off around 8, and 4 hours later I was dragged out of bed to have lunch with the parents. Now I'm all sleepy, but I don't want to take a nap because then I'll probably wind up wide awake at 2:35am again.

That is a statistical analysis of how many times each word appears in a large body of English language texts.

I worked with a similar database at my last job, working for a professor researching computer recognition of speech.

Yeah but ... why post it on the web, and why is Google indexing it? Yeah, I know, ... Why not? and Because are options. Still weird 'tho.

Check out this Fark link (remember, Fark webpage has naughty adverts): {The world generated 161 exabytes of digital information last year. That's 161 billion gigabytes}

Scroll down for an interesting breakdown of examples of really big numbers, we once had a thread on this subject here on Shrapnel.
