All publication is a political act. All communication is propaganda. All art is pornography. All business is personal. All hail Eris.

@jason: I think he most certainly means pages!
That sounds about right given that one study shows there’s 23.5 billion web pages in total.

Unless they’re about terrapins. I could cope with more statistics about terrapins.
