  • lukemorris, on 08/03/2008, -8/+303If I say it backwards, will I be transported to a parallel universe?
  • netneutrality, on 08/04/2008, -4/+243I've driven through there. It's ever such an insignificant place really. If it wasn't for the name nobody would have ever heard of it. (I'll probably get dugg down by an avid bunch of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogochian diggers now...)
  • BowieX, on 08/04/2008, -1/+213According to the byline, the name has so many letters it's developed a grammatical gravity that is pulling in letters from other sentences.
  • analshank, on 08/03/2008, -5/+112No love for Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg ?
  • frazier117, on 08/04/2008, -6/+104I'm sure people like Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116 will travel there.
  • dopre, on 08/04/2008, -1/+83That is a great password...if you could remember it.
  • jontalisman, on 08/03/2008, -6/+86That's nothing! You should see it translated into Mandarin...

  • Murdats, on 08/04/2008, -0/+70pfft, easily broken by a welsh dictionary attack.

  • philars, on 08/04/2008, -0/+39They would probably have one character to sum it up.
  • Sarevok9, on 08/04/2008, -6/+44Someone invented that name by rolling their face on a keyboard... most likely someone who plays a warlock in wow.
  • inactive, on 08/04/2008, -4/+40Looks Welsh. :D
  • mesoiam, on 08/04/2008, -2/+37Don't be silly, there are no computers in wales :-p
  • Loopholes, on 08/04/2008, -1/+34Thats a ridiculous thing to think.

    There is no WAY you could say it backwards.
  • TheProfessor87, on 08/04/2008, -1/+32"St Mary's church in the hollow of the white hazel near to the rapid whirlpool and the church of St Tysilio of the red cave"

    - Welsh to English translation. Seems like "St. Mary's" would have covered it.
  • karaokekidd, on 08/04/2008, -4/+35Sounds like a scottish guy swearing.
  • gllopc, on 08/04/2008, -0/+29It doesn't work, unfortunately:

  • angusm, on 08/04/2008, -0/+27The name is indeed Welsh. It's usually referred to as 'Llanfair PG', to reduce time and printing costs.

    I wonder how long it takes to get from Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch to Taumatawhakatangihangakoayauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukypokaiwhenuakitanatahu?
  • inactive, on 08/04/2008, -1/+28I can't believe that I could write about Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116 traveling to Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch and it would be a real sentence.

  • alexforcefive, on 08/04/2008, -0/+11Sorry to be not funny, but the locals actually refer to it as "Llanfair P.G.", or at least that's what's on the road signs

    *edit* someone said this already in a different thread. You can bury me if you want
