Smile A Useless Fact About Coccidia

Howdy all,

While chasing info on Coccidia, including which drugs slow it down and which drugs kill it, I ran across this factoid:

"COCCIDIOCIDE (destruction of parasititc coccidia protozoans) longest word with horizontal line of symmetry, in upper-case letters."

Think about it folding over this line and still looking the same .

COCCIDIOCIDE

"Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaurehaeaturipu kakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu" has 92 letters, and has been entered into the Guinness Book of Records as the longest officially recognized place name in an English-speaking country.

"Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis " means...'a lung disease caused by the inhalation of very fine silica dust causing inflammation in the lungs"...said to be the longest English word and is the longest word ever to appear in an English language dictionary.

Look what they say for the longest horizontal symmetry in upper case letters...someone needs to tell them the "truth"!

And for some more fun...

for the longest city name in the world is:

"Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Ayuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit."

or shortened "Krung Thep"

or some of you might know this city name as "Bangkok" in Thailand.
