According to most sources, the Nile is world's longest
river, at about 4150 miles to the Amazon's 4000.  The
problem with this is that the Nile's measurement runs
from the ocean to the headwaters of the White Nile. 

Not strictly geysers, but make it so by noting that the Firehole, therefore 
the Missouri and etc. includes geyser water. (Poor stuff, having to transit 
artificial reservoirs, cities as Kansas City and St. Louis and even New Orleans 
(sorry, no offense intended) in order to get to the ocean.) But aside from 
that, I can point to a source that eliminates various tributaries and states 
unequivocally that the Amazon, as a single traceable steream is by considerable the 
longest. TV shows aside.
