10 000 words, which appears to be the number of words in a standard dictionary, and it's above avarage for a not native speaker of my age.

I should test it again. Some of the words were unfairly old. I know a lot of newer obscure words.

7420 words, so I'm at the bottom of the pile for now, although based on other non-native speakers I seem to be in the upper part of the averages.

Note that this test is not 100% accurate and doesn't tell what kind of vocabulary does each people have, though. In my case, for example, a lot of words I know are technology-related, but medical-wise I almost know nothing, while in French, I barely know any technology-related words and I know a bit more medical ones.
I agree.

Spoiler For IMPORTANT NEWS!:
Late last night, Quebec was invaded by a group calling themselves, "Omnimaga". Not much is known about these mysterious people except that they all carried calculators of some kind and they all seemed to converge on one house in particular. Experts estimate that the combined power of their fabled calculators is greater than all the worlds super computers put together. The group seems to be holding out in the home of a certain DJ_O, who the Omnimagians claim to be their founder. Such power has put the world at a standstill with everyone waiting to see what the Omnimagians will do...

Wait... This just in, the Omnimagians have sent the UN a list of demands that must be met or else the world will be "submitted to the wrath of Netham45's Lobster Army". Such demands include >9001 crates of peanuts, sacrificial blue lobsters, and a wide assortment of cherry flavored items. With such computing power stored in the hands of such people, we can only hope these demands are met.

In the wake of these events, we can only ask, Why? Why do these people make these demands, what caused them to gather, and what are their future plans...
