i think such a thing (the lenght of sentences in a language) cant really be measured by trying out one sentence on the net and comparing it to its aquivalant on other languages... each language has some sentences that come out really long in it comparing to other languages, and some that come out really short. it all depends on the unique grammar of that specific language and also its unique vocabulary. i can think of at least a dozen sentences that can come out really short in hebrew in compare to english or japanese, and also vice versa...:)
