Obviously not too long, as it looks normal to me.
Some of the server names are a bit wordy though, don't you think?
Some of the non-AOL names that got returned by the whois query, you 
mean?
AOL.COM.IS.N0T.AS.1337.AS.GULLI.COM
AOL.COM.IS.0WNED.BY.SUB7.NET
AOL.COM.AINT.GOT.AS.MUCH.FREE.PORN.AS.SECZ.COM
AOL.COM

These extra entries are completely unrelated to aol.com, and reflect 
useless crap that has been spammed into the whois database. Fun.

Immediately following these is this text :-
To single out one record, look it up with "xxx", where xxx is one of 
the
of the records displayed above. If the records are the same, look them 
up
with "=xxx" to receive a full display for each record.
Using 'whois =aol.com' gives fuller details for each match, thus 
spoiling the joke a little.
