Zeus

Zeus, as in the Greek God.

Is it pronounced like Luas, as in the Daniel Day, or is it pronounced in one syllable, like zoos?

And wasn't he a great God? Ah he was brilliant...

Like Dr. Seuss?

Well it's not pronounced this way anyways because this is a different name that is spelled differently but is still a great song:

That's Hotpoint, the Greek god of heated up pencils you're thinking of.

I can imagine how Zeus would rhyme with Luas in a Dublin accent.

AnonoBoy

I always thought it was pronounced ZOOSE (rhymes with LOOSE)

No, she was the Greek God of missed pronouns.

Ah Zeus, now there was a deity who you knew where you stood with.

None of this "I am the god of eternal loving compassion and forgiveness! Now here's rectal cancer"

Yeah that whole God thing is what I can't get my head around.

Old Zeus also took what he wanted.

If he saw a hot young girl on earth, he just appeared as a Swan and had his way with them.

But of course all gods pale in comparison to Crom

Ulysses, Ulysses,
soaring through all the galaxies,
in search of Earth,
flying in to the night.

Ulysses, Ulysses,
fighting evil and tyranny,
with all his power,
and withall of his might.

Ulysses, no-one else can do the things you do.
Ulysses, like a bolt of thunder from the blue.
Ulysses, always fighting all the evil forces bringing peace and justice to all.

It's me Nono small robot you know, friend of Ulysses.

No it's Zuse as in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konrad_Zuse

The guy who invented the computer.




Really.

If Bletchley Park hadn't existed nor ENIAC been invented , if we didn't have Babbage, Turing , Von Neumann or Atanasoff we'd still have computers today.
