What happens when a bunch of not-pacific-northwesterners see a picture of a geoduck? This happens.

Everyone takes on jewish beliefs and starts a dirty hippie communist riot?

Truly astounding... And I know I have a dirty mind. :)

I was just trying to explain to niac why it's pronounced the way it is.

I thought this FAQ (http://www.olywa.net/cook/faq.htm) was great:
"The proper way to pronounce the word is "gooey-duck", not "gee-oh-duck". Unlike learning the proper way to pronounce words such as "Cthulhu" and "YHWH", this admittedly does not entail risk to your mortal soul."

Have you ever seen the Evergreen State College Geoduck Fight Song (http://www.everything2.org/index.pl?node_id=1163097)?

I take it that that is not some sort of fowl at all, but instead a mollusc indigenous to your area? Why is it called a geoduck?
