This is not in the slightest bit amusing, whichever way it is pronounced.

However this has not prevented schoolboys garnering much humour and derision towards this unfortunate body, many times without even bothering to construct a coherant joke around it. In fact the mere mention of its name sends many into uncontrollable fits similar to the bodily tics of a Desiatol Grunge-Bunge.

A decision was made to make the planet less hilarious by subtly altering its pronunciation. However the sight, and indeed sound, of an authoritive figure attempting such a pronunciation is in itself likely to instill uproarious laughter similar to the mating call of an Ikean flatpachyderm.
