Actually, it's worth noting that, until the famous song by Flanders and 
Swann, the animal the "gnu" had a silent g.

While I'm giving trivia, the famous Champagne firm is "mow et" with a 
hard "t"... not "mow ay" ... and Chandon.

This is because:

1: Moet was actually a Belgium (and there should be an umlaut over the 
e, but I can't work out how)
2: Freddie Mercury had an evil sense of humour, and the Killer Queen was 
MEANT to be a bit trashy :-)
