Somebody joined in a conversation I was having to comment that it had the longest title in the world, and I thought "you know, he might be right", but then I thought, well, even if he is, he's only right UNTIL NOW, of course, because being a contrary type

Interesting... the full text I typed was:
Somebody joined in a conversation I was having to comment that it had the longest title in the world, and I thought "you know, he might be right", but then I thought, well, even if he is, he's only right UNTIL NOW, of course, because being a contrary type I'll just go to his space and create an even longer title just for a giggle, even though it'll probably be cut off after a certain number of letters. In fact, I'm forced to wonder if there's a limit to how long these thread titles can be, because if there isn't then this could get seriously silly...
So there obviously IS a limit!

Wow!
[Accepts title, bowing under weight as he tries to carry it]
I'm utterly shocked and panicked. And now I know the limit to titles... Hmm...

"So there obviously IS a limit!"
Could have told you that ....
F19585?thread=128349 states that it's 255 characters.
Well, I wonder, wouldn't it be fun if someone modified it thus to make it fit 255 characters precisely? Now, who would do a thing like that? I mean, sure, it'd be cool and all, but what's the point? Hmm... does it need one?................................

This is more like it! I challenge thee to find a suitably original title which fits the quota more perfectly than this!
