Word of Wednesday - Pangaea and News of Gnus

Pangaea, you say it like pan-gee-uh, it's what the continents were before they broke apart and became the globe as we know it.  Also, the subject of my daughter's fifth grade science report.  I knew what it meant for some random reason, my husband did not.  I don't think many people do.  It doesn't come up in a lot of conversations.

Something that did come up in a conversation this week, what is the plural of gnu and do you say the g?  If you can find more than one you have gnus and it's pronounced like new so more than one gnu around would be news.
