Your challenge for the day dear readers is to take a HUGE breath and pronounce what is considered to be the longest place name in the world....created by the Maori a long, long time ago:
TAUMATAWHATANGIHANGAKOAUAUOTAMATEATURIPUKAKAPIKIMAUNGAHORONUKUPOKAIWHENUAKITANATAHU
which is the "shortened" form of: "The Brow of a Hill where Tamatea, the Man with the Big Knees, who slid, climbed and swallowed mountains, Known as Land Eater, Played His Flute to his Lover".
Don't you just love it?
