The magic in the stick

Repeat after me..er. her now: Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch





This reminds me of a word I learned to spell as a 9 or 10 year old! (Yeah.. I was (am?) geeky that way! :)) This one: Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis


For those wondering what the post title means...
“What matters is not the length of the wand, but the magic in the stick” - Anon
What goes of wands, goes for words too, no? ;)

Some other more philosophical quotes about length! :)
 “Life's like a play; it's not the length but the excellence of the acting that matters” - Seneca  

“It is not length of life, but depth of life.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Yes and No are very short words to say, but we should think for some length of time before saying them.” - Anon
