Eyjafjallajökull, or "we said send CASH, not ASH!"

Well, I suppose if you are not stranded in an airport somewhere, you might find some humor in the ways that all of us are trying to learn to pronounce the name of that pesky Icelandic volcano! The New York Times has a great sound clip in which various people attempt to say the name, and then someone from the Icelandic consulate says it right. The NYT blog called the Lede has more links to great video and stories about the ash cloud and its impact on travel.
My favorite comment is the first :

A e-mail is going around in Norway written in quasi-Icelandic that says:

“Put 30 billion euros in unmarked bills in a bag by the gate of the Icelandic embassy in London, and we’ll turn off the volcano.”

Unfortunately, the joke is in reference to the fact that Iceland's economy and government have been wrecked by the financial crisis, leaving the citizens responsible for debt brought about by reckless financial institutions.

This a video highlights futile attempts by newscasters to say the name. The comments are full of Icelandic yuks.
