In the German language, you can sometimes turn a whole *sentence* 
into a single word! <g>

It's actually pretty interesting - when you try to look up an 
apparently compound word, you won't find it in the dictionary. You 
have to sort of intelligently break up the word into it's component 
parts, look up *those*, and then try to figure out what the word 
means.
