    I wonder how many travelers broke out laughing when they tried to announce that “Eyjafjallajokull” was causing major problems….

    Oddly enough, in my neighborhood “Eyjafjallajokull” is pronounced “that volcano in Iceland – you know the one I mean.”

    Actually Mac, it takes two people to propperly pronounce it.

    “That volcano in Iceland - you know the one I mean…”

    “The one that shut down Europe?”

    “Yeah, that one.”

    I had no problem with pronouncing it correctly - the product of a misspent youth that included a summer at the University of Iceland.

    Oh, and it’s “Eyjafjallajökull”, not “Eyjafjallajokull”

    And if Katla blows, at least people will have an easier time with it.
