Heh heh, and to think I thought it was pneumonoultramicroscopicsilivolcanoconiosis. Here're a few good words, too. Sorry if they've already been posted. They aren't quite as long as what I've just mentioned, but they're pretty long and funny-sounding.

Laporohysterosalpingooapherectomy
Tetrasynamicroscopocellosynacanacosis

And for the longest place name, that would be the name of Bangkok in Thai:
Krungthepmahanakonbowornratanakosinmahintarayudyayamahadiloponopara
tanarajthaniburiromudomrajniwesmahasatarnamornpimarnavatarsatitsakattiya
visanukamphrasit
^^^That was mentioned^^^
