Tor-tus ?

That's how I've always heard it pronounced

Tor-tis, with a short i sound like 'is', but with the s sounding like an s instead of a z.

Tor-tus

EDIT: And occasionaly tor-toise. It's not toys or tis, definatly, more like some hybrid. But mostly, just tor-tus

I always said it nee-chee. Wiki says it's more like nee-tshuh (ˈniːtsʃə), though.

As for tortoise, I say it tɔːtɔɪs

Nietzsche is dead. Nietzsche remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become Nietzsche's simply to appear worthy of it?

I'd be extremely confused if I didn't know Silver was so comfortable with time travel. ;D

Well, he had to run through a halfpipe, along with one of his friends, and collect as many rings as he could.
