The Longest German Word has been Retired - Auf Wiedersehen!

If you've been studying German for any length of time now, you're probably aware that the language is as bit like a set of Lego blocks, with words added to other words (compound nouns) to create bold new concepts!  Will the world miss 

                   "Rindfleischetikettierungsuberwachungsaufgabenubertragungsgesetz"

Probably not!  Read the short story from NPR here and hear the word pronounced, then try to say it on your own!
