It's kind of like saying there are english words as long as antidisestablishmentarianism.

My system dictionary has supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, and dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethanes.

With all respect, all the guilt for this word belongs to Austrians :).
