Actually, "nucular" is now recognized in the dictionary as an alternate pronunciation of "nuclear".  It seems that if enough people in high places mispronounce a word enough times, it becomes acccepted.

I think even Jimmy Carter pronounces it nucular, which is really weird because he was once a nucular engineer for the Navy.
