I guess that depends in turn on whether you say "PLEEK-uh-STO-mus" or --more correctly-- "Ple-COS-tuh-mus." From that you get either "Pleeko" or --more correctly-- "Plecko."
This is the same thing as those whom believe that if you have "Organ Donor" placed on your license you will die soon and become one. Hey let's see if we can pass a fish rumor and see how long it takes before someone thinks it's stupid too.
