I once worked with safety critical code that had a variable name 62 characters long, without any extra fluff. It made sense in context. The problem was disambiguating it from the other half-dozen similarly-named, almost as long variables. At times I resorted to diff to verify that two variables were, or were not, the same one. Good times.
