simeonie: It's not 45 000 words in 48 kilometers. Just words on paper.
Also, the number of words depends on the language you use. I don't know whether it has any significance or not, but I obtained the information from a Finnish website, and we certainly have much longer words than English-speaking people have.

If you intend to refute facts on a scientific forum could you please kindly refrain from using "Mythbusters" as a guide?  Live around engineers and computer techs long enough and the weekly "post episode dissection" will drive one insane.  I don't want the disease to spread.[:p]

Neilep: Sorry for the inexactness... That's exactly what I wanted to say.
