Hivemind: is there a standard conversion of words to minutes when you're writing a speech? I need to write a 15-minute talk (that will not actually be delivered), and have no idea what ballpark to be thinking about in terms of word or page count.
I think the rule of thumb is two minutes a double-spaced page.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Wow, I've never seen a picture of an epidexipteryx before.
PZ sez:
And here's what it would have looked like in life (only the colors are imaginary). It would have been about the size of a pigeon — I think a pack of these scurrying about New York's Times Square would be both scenic and would quickly clean up the pigeon problem there.
I totally want one....

That sounds about right. I think I usually tried to make my 20-minute conference talks between 10-12 pages.
Note: Double-spaced, with real margins (i.e., 1 inch, and not Word's new default of 1.25).

sarameg, thanks for posting about making cat boarding reservations. That helped me stop waffling and get on that.
