Tarquin? The purpose was to measure a phenomenon I'd previously observed -- that it's getting harder to find answers on Google, because people post their questions on well-trafficked sites, and within a few minutes, those sites rocket to the top for a well-crafted search query trying to answer the question. "By the way, how long IS a piece off string?" I don't know, but strlen(piece) probably does.
