My diary is getting pretty big. Not counting the HTML code, pictures and comments, it now contains 1539 entries, 30965 sentences, 297897 words and a grand total of 2003788 individual characters (bytes).

My diary would fill hundreds of pages if I ever bothered to print it out, but if I compress it with gzip it still fits easily on a single floppy disk.

These numbers clearly indicate that the average word in my diary is 5 letters long, the average sentence has about 10 words in it and the average entry contains about 20 sentences.

Isn't that just fascinating?
