    Didn't even have to look at the link. I've had a t-shirt with one on it for years. Wording is "Swim softly, but carry a big name!"

    Pronounced whooma-whuooma-newkah-newkah-ah-pu-wah

    THE definitive triggerfish. Pound for pound, one of the fiercest things in the ocean.

    Not too hard to say when you break it down. Humu (x2)nuku (x2) apuaa: humuhumu-nukunuku-apuaa.

    Sure is a long name, though!

    Actually I dont watch any of them. Theyve all evolved into simply 2 guys bickering back and forth in little boxes.

    Boy, talk about a derail! From a fish with a stupid name to dualing talking heads!
