Well done Year 10, for coming up with some excellent facts....
The ones I particularly liked were Jake's, about the Mississippi flowing backwards, and Grace's, about the longest place name in the world...
According to Grace's source, Tetaumatawhakatangihangakoauaotamateaurehaeaturipukapihi-
maungahoronuku pokaiwhenuaakitanarahu, a hill in New Zealand, is the place with the longest name, and at 85 letters it is certainly a pretty good contender. I've just found another website, however, which reckons that Krungthepmahanakornamornratanakosinmahintarayutthayama-
hadilokphopnopparatrajathaniburiromudomrajaniwesmahasatharn
amornphimarnavatarnsathitsakkattiyavisanukamprasit in Thailand is actually the winner....
Either way, they both put Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch to shame!!
