Well, if "Chrononhotonthologos," written by Henry Carey in 1734, isn't the one, it should be. As for the character with an even longer name, I'm not so sure about that, but there is a "General Bombardinmion": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrononhotonthologos Jan 16 06, 10:22 PM

What is the word, what was the name of the play and can you give a few examples of what this word describes? Which popular fictional character in a number of 12th century stories has a title that isn't known to have been in use until the 13th century? My husband is obsessed with a certain type of puzzle, the name of which is actually an abbreviation. It was possibly inspired by the invention of a famed mathematician, and even a character on a television drama has been seen trying to solve an example. What is this puzzle, what is the translation of its full name, and who was the mathematician? In the movie Momento what is the name of the disorder the main character has?
