The Phil Plait blog has some videos with sound. If you play them, you might want to check that your volume is not turned all the way up!

I did get a kick out of the Russian Nationalist declaring it was an American weapon.

We've been taking out cruise ships lately, too. You know, 'cause the stole the name "cruise" from out missiles.
Is there such a thing?

A word ending in an "o" sound would be neuter in Russian. So I think we will have to call you Enziy, or something like that.

How about Enzyu - if I recall the y sounds like "oo' and the one that looks like 10 is "you", or is that backwards?

Like this?

Енцю

"Entsyoo"

It has a very non-Russian feel to me, but I'm not a native speaker (or even really that much of a speaker), so you probably don't want to take my word for it.
