# it's a lung condition caused by irritation from
ultra-microscopic particles. either miners or asbestos workers can get it I think.

# *FACT*
my girlfriend has a PhD in the study of that (and although miners and asbestos workers get silicosis, pneumonoultramicroscopicosilicoVOLCANOconiosis is silicosis resulting from exposure to volcanic ash).

# I light up the room, me.
that is a stupid word though. If proteins can concatenate like that, there are definitely longer proteins than that, no?

call it english, it's just a loan word from Greek :)

so it could be transcribed into dutch too, which would only make it longer :D

# 267 aa is quite small.
You could apply this to any protein, many of which are much longer.

no one knows exactly how and when with the new spelling, so we all stick to the old spelling :p

and in spoken language, the fence is completely off the dam. (...)
