- wiifm69, on 10/10/2007, -4/+242Longest place name in the world: Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateapokaiwhenuakitanatahu, which is Maori for "the place where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, who slid, climbed and swallowed mountains, known as 'landeater,' played his flute to his loved one."
- TunerPrep, on 10/10/2007, -16/+251lol. thanks. it wasnt to hard because all I did was copy and paste from the actual webpage title. but thanks.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+222"The church of St. Mary in the hollow of white hazel trees near the rapid whirlpool by St. Tysilio's of the red cave". Llanfairpwll is on the island of Anglesey (called Ynys Môn in Welsh). It is separated from the Wales mainland by the Menai Straits. Useless trivia, the village name was used in the 1960's cult film Barbarella as the password for Dildano's headquarters.
- barroni, on 10/20/2007, -2/+191I will donate beer money if Alex and Kevin use it on diggnation and get the name right

crazy Welsh people. - KnightMareInc, on 10/10/2007, -0/+115hate to be the guy on the train having to announce that stop everyday.
- u8myfoood, on 10/10/2007, -5/+107Actually Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch does not contain an "U"
- norbiu, on 10/10/2007, -3/+81And by not using the REPLY function.
- Thorpe, on 10/20/2007, -4/+77This title totally didn't like the Digg Google IG module. :(
- sandbird, on 10/10/2007, -6/+72This is why they should never let the Tasmanian Devil name places.
- AirRaven, on 10/10/2007, -6/+60God bless the Welsh.
- usherzx, on 10/10/2007, -3/+51Damn, I love the comedy on Digg.. It doesn't get any better any where else
Thanks mablco
and all you other smartass knuckle heads that make my day - every day - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+49Yawn yawn yawn. Predictable. Q. Do you know why we shag sheep? A. Because they're better looking than English girls. Think about this, after we've shagged them, you eat them!
- theheyes, on 10/10/2007, -0/+44Been there, nice place. Ironically its a small place. Theres also a pub across the road from the train station that has a sign the full length of the building to accomodate the name. A lot of people just say "Llanfair P. G." for obvious reasons.
- pb3623, on 10/10/2007, -3/+39The C is silent.
- AvengeX, on 10/20/2007, -4/+39Wales never fails to deliver lulz.
- mablco, on 10/20/2007, -0/+33did you have to go to that name on a grain of rice place?
- Ragzouken, on 10/10/2007, -0/+31It does, however, look like Welsh.
- WalesAlex, on 10/10/2007, -2/+32Yeah I'm coming to join you.
- veracon, on 10/10/2007, -1/+30I prefer the Thai name of Bangkok: Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Ayuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit
Which translates to: The city of angels, the great city, the eternal jewel city, the impregnable city of God Indra, the grand capital of the world endowed with nine precious gems, the happy city, abounding in an enormous Royal Palace that resembles the heavenly abode where reigns the reincarnated god, a city given by Indra and built by Vishnukam - elnerdo, on 10/10/2007, -1/+30A "U"
- Emilio8605, on 10/10/2007, -2/+30Is that AN "U", or A "U"?
- willhill, on 10/10/2007, -0/+27Here in my town we have a pretty long place name. We were even on the Today Show for it. It's our lake: Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg. I'll confess, I can't spell it from memory, but at least I can say it.
- xxpor, on 10/10/2007, -0/+26no you dont, you precede all vowel SOUNDS with an "an"
- 4850lu73, on 10/10/2007, -3/+29And I live there :D diolch!
- Julz, on 10/10/2007, -3/+28Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateapokaiwhenuakitanatahu:

this is the longest place name in the world from new zealand - Naughtyme, on 10/10/2007, -1/+25Beh, it was originally known as Llanfair Pwllgwyngyll. In the 19th Century it was given its long name to try and develop it as a commercial and tourist centre.
Locals know it as Llanfairpwll or Llanfair.
Welsh commercialism - that worked to some extent. - loqqq, on 10/10/2007, -2/+26Try saying that one time fast.
- WalesAlex, on 10/10/2007, -0/+24We do speak english, moron.
- Ratty, on 10/10/2007, -0/+22In Welsh, W is a vowel and often used in places where you'd see a U. e.g. "bus" in Welsh is "bws". The Welsh alphabet is quite a bit different from the the English one even though the character set is the same.
- SaviourSelf, on 10/10/2007, -5/+26Did they charge per letter?
- hmunkey, on 10/10/2007, -3/+23Someone on Digg doesn't like double posters.
- frenchyooy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+21I think it's right next to "The church of St. Mary in the hollow of BROWN hazel trees near the rapid whirlpool by St. Tysilio's of the BLACK cave" . Sometimes, you have to be precise to avoid confusion.
- oliver75482, on 10/10/2007, -1/+19May I ask how many times you have to click the forgotten password button?
- u8myfoood, on 10/10/2007, -1/+19Yes, you do because "W dn't nd n stkng vwls..." doesn't seem to have the same effect.
- AndySomnifac, on 10/10/2007, -1/+19Hell, try saying it one time slowly.
- Azimuth1, on 10/20/2007, -5/+23I went there several years ago, nice place.
- Julz, on 10/10/2007, -2/+19lol the title of this storie broke my digg google homepage plugin
- thatsoccerchick, on 10/10/2007, -0/+17that's the pronunciation... the top line is the actual name
- warhorse, on 10/10/2007, -0/+16Only ewe.
- Machismo, on 10/10/2007, -2/+17I just named my apartment Tethrotozolloperpolloyquesowithasideofraspberriesandspiderorchardsinthemiddleofabowlofsulfuerouswaterparkstethrotozolloper-

asideofraspberriesandspiderorchardsinthemiddleofabowlofsulfuerouswaterparks. So I now have the longest place name in the world. - ZepFloyd, on 10/10/2007, -2/+17so much for Antidisestablishmentarianism or pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis (a type of lung disease)
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+17We don't need any blessing from God. Welsh by birth, blessed by nature!
- andyrobo60, on 10/10/2007, -3/+18I have been there and that train station sign is the most interesting thing there.
