Caribou, Maine, is the third-coldest. Hampton, Va., is the third-oldest. Oak Grove is the third-most common city name. Illinois is the third-worst state for murder. The fear of flying is the third-most common phobia.
Knees are the third-most common sports injuries.
Mozambique is the third-poorest country. Russell's viper is the third-deadliest snake in the world. And in a category that makes me think statistical researchers really need to find honest work, the third-longest word in the English language came from medieval times and describes a superstition. It is has 310 letters and is much too long to be reprinted here. Suffice to say it looks like a pack of chipmunks was turned loose on the keyboard.
