Re: The Daily Fact Thread
The Daily Fact Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis (the technical term for Black Lung) is the second longest word in English. The longest is the chemical name for the protein 'titin' (or 'connectin') which is 189,819 letters long and takes about 3.5 hours to pronounce. Repaints My Maps Online Maps Customs CoN is FuN

If you allow chemical names such as the second example, I'm sure there are plenty that come in between the two. |

Fact: the orangutan is the largest tree-dwelling creature on Earth. I also happen to like them, in case the clues have passed you by.
