Saw this picture on Yahoo! News. And this is the caption:

"A sign at the Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch railway station in Anglesey, Wales. Translated from Welsh: St Mary's church in the hollow of the white hazel near to the rapid whirlpool and the church of St Tysilio of the red cave. Welsh officials mistakenly erected a road sign that read "I am not in the office at the moment" after a translation mix-up."

Thats a really LOOOOOOOOONG name for a railway station! You can try to pronounce the name.

Its pronounced as

Llan-vire-pooll-guin-gill-go-ger-u-queern-drob-ooll-llandus-ilio-gogo-goch.

"Hi mum, I am at the Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch railway station, come and pick me up!"
