Pshaw...

"Donaudampfschifffahrtsgesellschaftskapitänswitwe"

can be easily lengthened to

"Donaudampfschifffahrtsgesellschaftskapitänswitwenpensionserlagscheinsunterschriftechtheitstüberprüfungsvorgang"...
("process of verification of the authenticity of the signature on the payment form for the widow of a Danube steamboat company captain's pension check" - so there... :P)
