[ Werner Herzog ]
One of the mysteries that has plagued mankind for many ages presents itself.

Why can we not hear a Pterodactyl going to the bathroom?

Their extinction aside; the answer is almost self evident.

We nearly hate ourselves for not realizing that the P is silent.

The thing that bugs my husband is everyone mispronouncing 'Helicopter'
It isn't: 'He-li-cop-ter', it should be: 'He-li-co-pter', but the 'p' is silent so it should be:
'He-li-co-ter'

It literally means spiral or helical wing - 'Pter' being ancient-dead-people-speak for wing(s) or winged.
