How long did it take you to type or copy that ouit? i mean i admire dedication but jeez.
i have always held the peculiar belief that the longest word was "articulated lorry". i'm not entirely sure why though.
this is really good and very strange and true to the h2g2 pshyce.
WELL DONE IT ROCKS.
now on to other things... what is the longest word in german?! i suggest Naturwissenschaftenlehrerin (a female science teacher)

Might I suggest hyphenating that? I very much dislike having to scroll left to right with the mouse so I only read the first few dozen letters. This severely limits the length of the longest word inthe English Language to the approximate width of my computer monitor.

On behalf of NZ, can I put in a plug for TAUMATAWHAKATANGIHANGAKOAUAUOTAMATEATURIPUKAKAPIKIMAUNGAHORONUKUPOKAIWHENUAKITANATAHU as the longest place name. As well as a warning to all other cultures that name places after complex incidents that happened there, instead of just accepting the random patron's names dumped on them by European explorers.
