That's a rhetorical question. I know EXACTLY who it is. I've known for 35 years or so. Ever since one of my first DM's referred to him by name --
"Jubilex"
Kinda like Jujubes. Jubilex.
I'm sorry to say that I've been WRONG all these years. Its name is Juiblex. I just double-checked my Monster Manual.

Like Jwee blex. Jweeeeeeeee!
I just discovered my mistake as I was reading through the Adventures Dark and Deep Bestiary.
Thank you Mr. Bloch for your attention to detail.
I salute you!

Wow...I've had it wrong too...almost makes you want to stat up a Jubilex Petty God of Mistaken Demonic Identity
I misread it as well to begin with. I was put right but it's still hard to read it in my mind the way it's written on the page.
I always thought he'd do a great cover version of "It's Gotta be Jelly cause Jam don't Shake like that"
In Pathfinder, it's officially Jubilex, now.
And that's the name I'll use - I mean, it was always Jubilex. Even though it wasn't. But that doesn't matter. :P
@Dithering Fool -- Cool idea. What would he look like? Wasn't there a movie character that was a victim of mistaken identity?
@Daddy G -- I agree. I swear I actually had to focus and refocus my eyes to see where the "i" actually is.
@Rorschachhamster -- Niiice! Didn't know that Pathfinder had made that change. Any others?
Juiblex is the WotC IP name, Jubilex is the ogl/srd name chosen precisely because of the common misread/mispronunciation that seemed almost universal. This was made official in the necromancer games Tome of Horrors series and the discussion to do so still exists on the NG messageboards somewhere.
I also had always thought it was Jubilex.
Maybe Jubilex is the happy-go-lucky version of Juiblex?
