I typed out pleco once on this site and it changed to pl*co before my very own eyes. Even my comp knows this urban legend. Or was it the ghost of a moderator?

When I was in college,purely to gall the ugly United Fruit Company, (The expression "Banana Republic" used to have a negative connotation, children...) we decided to spread a rumor that if you dried the strings inside banana peels and smoked them, you'd get high. That would have been early December, 1965. We all talked it up over the Christmas holidays. It took about three months for the rumor to get back to me...

These things can be done...

Pronouncing "pleco" is not the problem. How they heck does one pronounce "pl*co"? Is it plstarco or plasterisko? :confused:

I though people spelled it like that so when one did a search, it would not pick up the word just in a list,only threads about plecs
