How do you pronounce Cetacean and Citation?

I pronounce them pretty differently.

The animal which is called a whale, I pronounce cee-tu-CEE-un or cit-tu-CEE-an.

The act which when lacking makes wikipedians wail, I pronounce cit-TAY-shun or cie-TAY-shun.

So, it took me a while to really spot the pun.

However, here is the guy who could appreciate the pun, and who showed it:
