About Kryzak

Kryzak is easy to pronounce. Phonetically, you say "cry-zack." The original spelling of Kryzak is Krzyzak. It is Polish in origin and means "crusades" (so I've been told). To pronounce the original version, you say "shizz-jacque." Fortunately it's been Americanized for your speaking enjoyment.

Here is an interesting fact I found out about my last name:
Kryzak is the 62,667th most popular last name in the United States (in your face Spannbauer). This information is based upon the 1990 United States Census.

Over 1 million names were collected on microchips and placed on the STARDUST spacecraft, which will visit Comet Wild 2. My name, Joshua R Kryzak is on that spacecraft. STARDUST was launched on February 7, 1999. A Sample Return Capsule will return to Earth in 2006, while the spacecraft will remain in space forever. I'm intergalactic!

I found this images at an online hobby shop.
