    Longest place name in the world

    dunno if this has been posted but just randomly stumbled across it while surfing the net. Of coures its in NZ lol!

    The longest place name still in use is: Taumatawhakatangihangaoauauotameteaturipukakapikim aungahoronuk- upokaiwhenuakitanatahu--a New Zealand hill.

    Like to see someone say that!

    That.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    I forgot what it translated into. It was more of a story than a name

    I can say Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysilio gogogoch. It's the longest place name in the UK (a Welsh railway station).
