So I knew about the name of Llanfair, but I saw this and said "is that
real?"  So I typed (well, cut-and-pasted):

 ping llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.co.uk

After a brief pause, the following output came.  Note carefully the
first line.

I take it this should prove the point.  Someone at ping central got it
wrong.
