"Sunfire" has/had a really long word in his/her signature. It's late here in AZ, about 2:30 am, So I am bored and looked up a few things. The longest word I could find was, "Tetaumatawhakatangihangakoauaotamateaurehaeaturipukapihimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuaakitanatahu" which is a hill in New Zealand. It stands 305 meters tall which is about 1000 feet I think. It is said to mean, "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." One thing that caught my eye was the word traveled being spelled wrong. I don't know if it was supposed to be that way or just the website.
