Looking Up!
Matt 22:37-40 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
EDIT: oops; re-read the rules; that "b" in there messes me up. back to the drawing board

Is Bookkeeper the only English word with three consecutive repeated letters (not including other forms of that word such as book keeping)?
~~~It is not the only word of this kind, but it is the only one in which omission of the medial hyphen is a practical option which it is not in, for example, hoof-footed or sweet-toothed.
