I was missing a goal to pratice my Scala so I wrote a script to find if you follow your rule, I stopped after getting something bigger than 107 words in order to not hurt HN.
After several 90+ words paragraphs I found this 138 words beauty :D.

When I was getting my degree is Physics we had a lab in the "student reactor", which was still in a large building of its own. As part of the lab we got to sit down to the control console of the reactor and control it, on our own. I remember I was turning one knob increasing the power output when suddenly there was a loud noise, everything shook, and the power output went to zero. Turned out it was the failsafe (I think cadmium rods dropped into the core) as I was too agressive with the controls --- it was a normal occurence for students. (All modern reactors are designed in a way that you can't overdrive them, they'll automatically shut down.) It was great fun and a story I'll be telling for the rest of my life. "
Point taken, maybe I could rewrite the script :D. Just kidding.
I just wanted to show that a constructive argument like the one you made is appreciated and if you down vote me with that I will be glad, but the point that he gave was not useful to make my sentence skills better :D

P.S: I didn't count the --- as a word !
Maro complained about a single sentence, not a whole paragraph.

This is the best reply I have ever seen to a grammar nazi comment. Kudos.
Thanks but it's not about "grammar nazi", English is not my first lang and I appreciate when people help. I wanted to point that it was a silly rule.
Ironically, that paragraph is the best argument against Scala. Scala doesn't have have failsafes for IT.
