    I just thought I put it down here as an interesting fact: THere is a word in hungarian language which I think is the longest word. The word is: megszentsegtelenithetetlensegeskedeseitekert
    It's almost impossible to translate, but if anyone wants to know what it means I could give it a go:)

    I thought of sensationalizing for the 16 letter one.  Working on the 17 letter one.  Will not cheat.  Will not cheat.
