the Mississippi is the longest river in the USA and the Nile in Egypt is the longest river in the world. It's currents are so strong that at some points it even flows slightly uphill! pretty cool.

Many argue that the Missouri is longer than the Mississippi:

"The Missouri River is a tributary of the Mississippi River in the United States. The Missouri begins at the confluence of the Madison, Jefferson, and Gallatin rivers in Montana, and flows into the Mississippi north of St. Louis, Missouri. At 2,341 mi (3,767 km)[1] in length, it drains approximately one-sixth of the North American continent. Depending on whether its length is reckoned from the headwaters of its sources (as the Mississippi's length is reckoned from Lake Itasca, Minnesota), or from their confluence where the Missouri is first so-named (at Three Forks, Montana), it is currently either the longest or second-longest river in the United States."

You can also fudge and say that the MIssissippi with its tributaries (including the Missouri, and a couple other really long rivers) is unqueationably the longest in the world.

The longest river is the Missourri. The largest river (meaning, it has the greatest water flow) is the Mississippi. Sometimes, both rivers are grouped into the Mississippi-Missouri System, which is certainly the longest in the US, and one of the longest in the world!
