8. Do you ever listen to A Prairie Home Companion on NPR?

Anyway, back in spring of 2010 when Eyjafjallajökull was erupting, they did a hilarious sketch with the entire cast, including the musicians, discussing the volcano with each of them saying the word, Eyjafjallajökull, repeatedly throughout the sketch. It was amazing - every single one of them got the pronounciation pitch perfect! By the end of the sketch I could pronounce it, too!

You just knew they had to have rehearsed the heck out of that bit - it was an unforgettable feat of linguistic gymnastics!
