Too late to rename "No Gnus"?

Too late to rename "No Gnus"?

[Thomas Skogestad]

Dammit, Googling for "No Gnus" gives lots and lots of results, MANY (most) of
which are related to "No Gnus". How about ... "Nose Gnus"?

 Your search - "nose gnus" - did not match any documents.

We all have noses, gnus have noses, noses are great, gnus are great, Gnus is
great.

P.S. Amazon.com lets you search for text inside books, and they have the Gary
Larson "Far Side Gallery 5" which includes the notorious "Well, I've got good
gnus and I've got bad gnus."

No, but I could go for Nephelococcygia Gnus.

How is this good?

| No, but I could go for Nephelococcygia Gnus.

Pronunciation: [ne-fê-lê-kê-'si-jee-yê ]

Definition 1: (Literally, "Cloudcuckoosville") Interpreting the shapes of
clouds.

Definition 2: La-la land, a dream land cut off from reality.

The adjective would be "nephelococcygic," as in "Bertie is suffering
nephelococcygic delusions."

Sounds good.

Isn't it nice that when you're googling for "No Gnus", you get
results related to No Gnus?

I like it too. It would however probably need some training to pronounce
it.

Did you ever realize how much text fits in eighty columns? If you now consider
that a signature usually consists of up to four lines, this gives you enough
space to spread a tremendous amount of information with your messages. So seize
this opportunity and don't waste your signature with bullshit nobody will read.

No, i get results related to _no_ Gnus. Which is not at all good.

What about adding `o's?  --> "Noo Gnus" (like "new") or "Nooo Gnus"
(like "oh my god").

Nahh...  Just have Lars record his voice saying it realllly slowly as
a whisper, and then we'll play it as Gnus is starting up.

Oh no; I would prefer hearing a female voice so you always have to take
a cold shower after having started Gnus (or alternatively the voice from
HAL 9000).

Hi Karl,

    > I would prefer hearing a female voice

I also would prefer that. That would have several advantages:

* stimulate several hundred million male Gnu users
* encourage the six female Gnu users (according to last projections)
* demonstrate that we advocate for sexual equation

Best wishes,

I'm not sure, judging from the responses, that the voice you're
all thinking about will demonstrate equality very well.
