Words 24,000+
Pieces of paper 62
Thesis pages 82
Front matter pages 9
Back matter pages 24
Chapters 8
Sections 33
Appendices 3
References 116
Footnotes 56
Tables 47 (or 67)
Figures 16 (or 22)
Project time in months 8
Days since starting to write 110

I pity my markers.

And here it is, in case anyone cares: Learning Named Entity Recognition from Wikipedia.
