pneumono ultra microscopic silico volcano coniosis. Not TOO hard when you break it apart. I'll have to remember that so I can sound like a jackass on the fly.

Wow. I'm not sure which paragraph is more amazing!

 

[Manabanana]

Awwwe, why close it when we can turn it into the superfluous word thread?

"chemical compounds (apparently there is one that is 1,913 letters long)"

That's facticious in itself. Chemical compounds are unlimited in how long the name can get. 1913 letters long, WOW... (adds another carbon on it) ... now how many?

but by adding another carbon that compound no longer exists.

Yeah it makes a new one that has a longer name.

Sure it's 1916 letters long, but you take the same compound, add a chlorine or something, and now you gotta fit "chloride" to it.
