From this quora webpage and using 128 characters in one line...
128 x "272,516 lines of text" = 34,882,048 megabytes of pure text. Hmm, odd. -- the meme 15.2 megabyte... is smaller?

For pages, I simply used "40 lines per page" and it's...
272,516 ÷ 40 = 6,812.9
But legal pages have lots of blank paragraph double spaces. So 6,813 pages is underestimating it.

Yay, they did the math! And by they I mean the person with the funniest username I've seen this week. Thank you.

Anyway, give or take that’s just absurd!
