Some boffins at the University of Leicester have figured it out.They did this by estimating that an average Wikipedia page requires 15 A4 pages to be printed.Assuming the visible internet (so not including all the creepy goings on in Dark Web internet) has 4.54 billion pages, and that each web page is about the same length as a Wikipedia article – they worked out that it would take roughly 68,100,002,500 (more than 68 billion) pages of paper to print it all.This much paper would require 8,011,705 trees to be cut down.

The Malaysian phrase for the time it takes to eat a banana is "pisan zapra" and it was a measure of time used before clocks were invented.

FAKE
While reading lists of untranslatable words, I found the phrase "pisan zapra." Supposedly, pisan zapra is used in Malay to mean "the time it takes to eat a banana." However, when I Googled the phrase, many of the results were discussions doubting its authenticity. Some native speakers of Malay said they had never heard it. One comment offered a possible etymology, saying "pisang" in Malay means "banana," and "saapidu" in Tamizh means "to eat." My wild guess is that it may be obscure or obsolete, so of course people wouldn't know it if it isn't in common usage. Does anyone have any further information on this elusive phrase?
