Calculating entropy of texts for an assignment. Some conclusions:

1. A regular book has around 4.5 of entropy.
2. If you replace all words with meow, you get half the entropy. I did so with Alice in Wonderland.
3. If you generate a very long cryptographically secure password (100 kilocharacters), you get higher entropy (almost 6).

Tomorrow I'll do similar stuff for images.
