Your word is puny, MadEwokHerd! I have a word that is yet so long, I dare not post it directly in a thread, as the sheer letterage makes up a larger file than even a rather high-resolution JPEG. The word describes a protein found in the human body, and includes nearly 190,000 letters. That word can be found here (http://vangarrett.clearwire.net/Titin.txt). Behold and ph33r! All 189,817 letters of it!

Search far and wide, matey, you no be findin' a longer werd than that thar.

Thats not a real word ya louser.

It is, actually. It describes a protein otherwise called "Titin" or "Connectin", found in the human body. The chemical formula for this protein is C132983 H211861 N36149 O40883S693. Consider looking it up on Wikipedia.

Should be one absurdly long line of text at the top. Consider downloading the file and opening it in Notepad.

I might note, that one, single word has more letters than some entire, multi-chapter fan fictions I've seen posted in Fan Works.

Dear God! some accually did spell DNA out the long way!?! I'm impressed 5 points!

That's the scary thing about this, Maximus-- that's just a protein. That is just a reflection of *one* infintesimal segment of what the full nomenclature would be for an individual's strand of DNA. Of course, there's not really any real nomenclature for DNA, as the molecule is different for all of us.

That's cheating though. All Organic Chemistry stuff has cheating names. Just look on the back of a shampoo bottle. Therefore, I think that the word should not be counted and instead my word wins.



Who the hell am I kidding. I just got dominated.

Well accually, if it is a protein it isn't even DNA, but still yeah I know we don't accually use that nomenclature becaue it is different people might just go crazy trying to finish reading it http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif, still If someone accually did it would be huge...., and techinally if it were a simple strand of DNA from say a virus or a bacteria it could be very consitant, after all DNA it a defined chemical but it can vary alot so for someon to spell out even the small strand of what would translate (eventually) into that Protein it would still count.

It's nice to see that someone know there stuff http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif
