Hello all, It's Mister Beagle!!

I was somewhat bored tonight, and so i decided to look up the world's longest word

Just thought it was something interesting.

This is the longest word: acetylseryltyrosylserylisoleucylthreonylserylprolylserylglutaminyl-
phenylalanylvalylphenylalanylleucylserylserylvalyltryptophylalanyl-
aspartylprolylisoleucylglutamylleucylleucylasparaginylvalylcysteinyl-

After the first 8 syllables I'd get up and leave.

Floccinaucinihilipilification is better

/longest non-technical word

oh and

The name on the sign that marks this hill is 'Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuak
itanatahu', which translates roughly as The summit where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, the climber of mountains, the land-swallower who travelled about, played his flute to his loved one. At 85 letters, it is one of the longest placenames in the world.

damn, imagine how hard it would be to fill in that placename in forms :/

I gave up on the first syllable, ace.

I guess I'm just gonna have to find a new star or build a road and give it a longer name.
