Well no, on two counts.
Firstly, this is just part of it, I had to cut down the image as it was too big to upload here (you can see the whole 189,819 letter word in this 65KB text file here at Geekologie).

And if you want to see some guy spend 3 and a half hours reading this word (yup, you read that right, three and a half hours) head on over to the Video Scrapings site to see it.

Holstered words await their beleaguered turn on the folded podium, where the glossy six sided truth will be heard.
