zandzeepsodemineraalwatersteenstralen - longest Dutch word in the Dutch dictionary.
In principle, in Dutch you can add prefixes and suffixes to nouns infinitely (hottentottententententoonstellingsmakersopleiding sprogramma), but it is never done since it's stylistically horrible.

A town in Wales...
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysilio gogogoch Per the BBC... "The name translates as 'St Mary's church in the hollow of the white hazel near a rapid whirlpool and the church of St Tysilio of the red cave'." I used to have an audio clip of a native saying the town name as my Windows startup sound. On a good day, and before beers, I can still say it. Also according to the BBC... "It is believed that the name ... was invented by a cobbler from Menai Bridge; little did he know that he had implemented one of the most successful tourist marketing plans of all time. Today the village is signposted as Llanfairpwllgwyngyll and is known to locals as Llanfairpwll or Llanfair."

Rhythm is a word I always find wierd cause there is no vowels. Also the english language just doesnt make sense.

GEORGE - PRINCE OF WALES: Well, hurrah! Any ideas? EDMUND BLACKADDER: Well, yes, sir. There is one man who might be the ace up our sleeve. A rather crusty, loudmouthed ace named Sir Talbot Buxomly. GEORGE - PRINCE OF WALES: Never heard of him. EDMUND BLACKADDER: That's hardly surprising, sir. Sir Talbot has the worst attendence record of any member of Parliament. On the one occasion he did enter the House of Commons, he passed water in the Great Hall, and then passed *out* in the Speaker's Chair. But if we can get him to support us, then we are safe. GEORGE - PRINCE OF WALES: Well, what's he like? EDMUND BLACKADDER: Well, according to `Who's Who', his interests include flogging servants, shooting poor people, and the extension of slavery to anyone who hasn't got a knighthood. GEORGE - PRINCE OF WALES: Excellent! Sensible policies for a happier Britain! EDMUND BLACKADDER: However, if we are to get him to support us, he will need some sort of incentive. GEORGE - PRINCE OF WALES: Hmm. Anything in mind? EDMUND BLACKADDER: Well, you could appoint him a High Court judge... GEORGE - PRINCE OF WALES: Is he qualified? EDMUND BLACKADDER: He's a violent, bigoted, mindless old fool. GEORGE - PRINCE OF WALES: Sounds a bit *over*qualified... Well, send him here at once! EDMUND BLACKADDER: Certainly, sir. I will return before you can say `antidisestablishmentarianism'. GEORGE - PRINCE OF WALES: Well, I wouldn't be too sure about that! `Antidistibblincemin...' `Antimistilinstid...' `Antistits...' (Caption: Two Days Later) GEORGE - PRINCE OF WALES: Anti-distinctly-minty-(???)... [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img]
