A Few Questions?
How many people actually cook the same recipe they watched a cook prepare on a cooking channel?
How many people bought the ingredients and got no further?
What keeps people glued to the weather forecast when the meteorologists haven't changed the prediction?
What prevents someone from not finishing a book they are not enjoying?
Who will cross the aisle in our Congress?
Who will create the largest pizza? They have to beat five Italian chefs whose pizza measured 131 feet in diameter and weighed over 51,000 pounds.
Who wrote the longest sentence?
Some people answer the question of who wrote the longest sentence in English by writing their own sentence—often a run-on. If we only include literary personalities with known and accepted work, James Joyce garners top honors. One sentence contains 4,391 words. Of course he was the master of conscious stream of thought.
The New Literary Magazine says that Joyce's sentence was surpassed by Joanathan Coe's book, The Rotter's Club—one sentence of 13,955 words.
And we haven't looked at the longest sentence in languages other than English.
Imagine losing the sense of the sentence mid-way through—and beginning again?
