Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu is the Maori (language) placename on an otherwise unremarkable hill which is 305 metres high, close to Porangahau, south of Waipukurau in southern Hawke's Bay, New Zealand. The placename is often shortened to Taumata by the locals for ease of conversation.

The placename on the sign that marks this hill is spelt as Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu which roughly translates into English as The brow [or summit] of the hill [or place], where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, who slid [down], climbed [up] and swallowed mountains, [to travel the land], [who is] known as the Land Eater, played [on] his [nose] flute to his loved one. At 85 letters, it is one of the longest placenames in the world.

And I still have problems spelling squirrel and giraffe...

Hey Jarg, nice info....But....Damn.....Yellow???....the blue was hard enough to read. But the yellow on Sunday Morn? Heck I'm lucky to even see after a Sat night. Once I highlighted it I was real glad to see that It really was Jibberish. You had me worried there for a min. 😆 😆

Yepper! The sub-black definitely works the best for viewing the different text colors!

I forget that there are several different themes installed. I too, use the sub black theme.

Either way, I changed it to violet. That should REALLY burn your retinas 😛
