Interesting blurg on Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia

Speaking of long names, the longest place name in the U.S. is right here in Massachusetts:
Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg (45 letters)
The name is reputed to mean:
"You Fish on Your Side, I Fish on My Side, Nobody Fish in the Middle".
But scholars of the Nipmuck language say the name means approximately:
"Englishmen at Manchaug territory at the meeting and fishing place at the boundary"
The name Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg itself compounds two or more of the earlier, shorter indigenous names for the lake.
The name for practical purposes was shortened to Lake Chaubunagungamaug, still a mouthful, and so later was renamed "Webster Lake."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Chaubunagungamaug

Of course, New Zealand has us beaten for longest place name in an English-speaking country, at 85 letters, a hill called:
'Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu'
But the real real length of the word is in dispute, as is L ake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg

Then there is the ceremonial name for Bangkok, which I will only link to at Wiki:

DYK that babies are born with 300 bones, but by adulthood we have   only 206 in our bodies.   

But these are really parts of the same 206 bones in development.  Many bones that appear to be one or more bones fuse into one bone in early childhood. 

Speaking of bones:

An adult human has 206 bones.
An adult domestic cat has 230 bones.
