8. joule pronunciation NO images. See also James Joule (by Richard Melson) which suggests that even in Joule's lifetime the pronunciation of Joule was conflicted.
   ``The Joule brewery used to take advantage of this confusion of pronunciation in its advertising, which went something like this:''
   ``Do you pronounce it Joule's to rhyme with schools,
   Joule's to rhyme with Bowls,
   or Joule's to rhyme with Scowls?
   Whatever you call it, by Joule's or Joule's or Joule's, its GOOD!''
   

   ----Uncle Ezra.

   I've added my verse clarification

   The unit of energy is the joule
   and this rhymes with drool,
   but it should rhyme with bowel
   to be correct for James Joule.
