I see. So I guess they have some 'within reason' limit on the length of a url they will show in-line.  Makes sense.

Sort of. I just tried this

just trying this
http://does_that_mean_you.can.get.around.com/the-140-character_limit_by_pretending_your_content_is_actually_a_url+or+not+because+i+gotta+say+i+don't+really+lnow+this+i+guess+you+prolly+can+and+wow+this+is+one+long+Tweet+but+it+still+says+i+have+99+chars+left?

and it said i still had 99 chars left. But when you post it, the link will show up as something like t.co/stuff so to read the message, people will have to click the link anyway... and at that point you might as well just link to a regular webpage with your text.
