Waldo JaquithIn “So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish,” Douglas Adams wrote that the Hitchhikers’s Guide to the Galaxy is 5,973,509 pages long. English-language Wikipedia currently contains 6,747,777 entries. That means that the size of Wikipedia has now surpassed the size of the Hitchhikers’s Guide to the Galaxy.
Rep. Eric Gallager (no "h"!)@waldoj Makes sense, considering that the Guide was shown to be not very comprehensive (its entry for Earth was only 1 word at first, to be updated to 2, after all)
Paul Lalonde@egallager @waldoj "mostly" was doing a lot of work there.
