I SURPASS TOLSTOY!

LEO

Google tells me that my next posting to www.ljb.quiltcutie.blogspot.com (Myrl’sBlog) will be # 600.  I estimate that the average entry contains about 300 words.  Thus, I will have written 600 X 300 = 180,000 words over these past six years.  Tolstoy is said to have written War and Peace in the same amount of time; however, War and Peace consists of 587,284 words.  Thus, Tolstoy out-wrote me by more than three to one!   But, as is well known, one picture is worth a thousand words – and all of my blog entries feature a picture!  That adds 600,000 words to my total – and leaves Tolstoy floundering in the dust.

And that doesn’t even count this (www.frivilousessays.blogspot.com) blog.

Nobel people, please take note!
