If you try using words generated by random characters, such as ...

say "decgvdnpfxnkjzh"

you get some interesting sounds!

That led me to realize that I can finally hear how the name of Superman's nemesis, Mr. Mxyzptlk, is pronounced.

say "Mxyzptlk"

Prior to the Crisis on Infinite Earths reboot, the only way to get him to return to the fifth dimension was to get him to say his name backwards.

say reverse of text items of "Mxyzptlk" as text

I always knew that Applescript would be useful for something.  <snort>

Oh, by the way, try these:

say "Mr."
say "Mrs."
say "Ms."
say "Dr."
say "Lt."
say "Capt."
say "Gen."
say "Sgt."

They are case sensitive, by the way.  Other military ranks I tried (e.g., Maj, Col, Cpl, Pvt) don't work.
