Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for January 24, 2009

She has deniability.

oh Danae … Danae … Danae …

My question: what is it that we are waiting for? I’m sure there are some great answers out there!

LOL!—How glaringly subtle you are Wiley.

Plus 4:We don’t know that.

Mrs. Tubbsbotl and I are wondering how Danae’s name is pronounced. Is it Danay or Danee?

Or pronounce Daneea?

You just have to love Danae!

This is better than one-a-day vitamins. I honestly believe Danae could hold a workshop for aspiring CEO’s.

I’ve always pronounced it Dana.

I like that name, it’s unusual. I had a friend when I was little named Dana but adding the e on the end makes it sound exotic.

Yeah, the pronouncation for Danae sounded about right. Dah-nay It think that name is awesomely cool!

We thank you all!

Somebody has to ask…”What is the number one most frequently asked question?”

WileyPro says:

This is the second most frequently asked question. Danae (named after the Greek goddess, mother of the hero, Perseus) is pronounced DAH-nay.

Cool, thanks Wiley. It ALWAYS amazes me how much I learn from these comics and the posted dialogues… now if only I could get on Jeopardy. hulloooo Alex????

Along with other ships of the Royal Navy named after mythical heroes (Achilles, Hector etc.) HMS Danae has had a venerable history as well. Various manifestations have been as frigates and destroyers, going back to the time of the Napoleonic wars.
