    But this thread is getting longer and longer

    and thread is not string ;)

    But a string can be made up of multiple strings and multiple strings make up a rope.;)

    Making this a very ropey thread. :p

    What if it's Möbius string ?

    Then it would have infinite length.

    No wait, it would have twice infinite length.
