What is the "other" file type?

When I go to [ > About This Mac > More Info... > Storage], I get this bar (that is just like the one in iTunes for the data storage on your device), telling me how much space my different file types take up.

Most of the space is taken up by the yellow "Other". What documents are this type? I don't have hundreds of .pages - or anything - documents.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7), 13.3", 2.7 GHz, 500 GB
