Sergey Brin said something on the last Google earnings call (which reported higher earnings than expected) that struck me.

Every 4 hours Google indexes as much information as the entire U.S. Library of Congress. According to their site, in 2007 the Library of Congress had 138,313,427 items in their collection. It’s the largest library in the world with the most books.

While everything Google indexes is not useful or quality information, this is awe-inspiring nonetheless.
