HN is generally known for having a good, mostly thoughtful comments section.

So, 851 comments – many of them full paragraphs or longer – about a 2,500 word blog post that should probably take an average of ten minutes to read.

Forty. Two. Seconds. [tyler.io]

@jws ha!

The implication is 850 commenters spent a very short time on the site, but makes sense if you're bringing 45K visits from a site that make 850 comments, the avg visit length might be 42 seconds. :P

@33MHz Median would have been more telling, yes. Or a full distribution graph. (Most Website analytics packages amaze me by their uselessness.)
