    That's just stupid - it's a list of the amino acids or whatever. It's not a word. It's like taking a DVD and making the longest word ever out the digital data. :| Marc

      If you did that and read it for 3.5 hours, you would probably get featured, too.

        I disagree I believe sex is the longest word because it takes years just to realize the ramifications of what you just did?

          If we are going down that road, I would submit that "I was wrong" is the longest phrase in the world. It takes years to say, if you can ever actually get the whole thing out.

                        Tokenizing it by la, lc, lg, and lt, you see it's made up of 6468 word groups (tokens included). Removing duplicates gives us 908 words. So there's room for compression. Tokenizing by l reduces it all to about 26 words.

                          And to be fair, it does only contain 26 letters, multiple times and in different order.
