In another Most Illustrious Thread here at TFP...and obviously I refer to the "Where in the World Am I?" thread, TullyMars made a fantastic "longest" revelation that I feel compelled to share with all you Longest Folks:
The Pangalanes is a chain of sweet water lakes and lagoons parallel to the coast of the Indian Ocean, separated by a narrow stretch of land. The lakes are connected by a man-made channel system that forms an inland waterway from Tamatave through to Farafangana, making it the longest canal in the world covering a distance of 600km.
edit: as one of my most heart-felt gestures toward energy conservation, I just realized that I can make this a "3-fer" by using the word "Farafangana" above in the "sounds naught but isn't thread"!
Damn, this is further strong proof that the universe is just so interconnected it blows our minds.
