Sorry I don't get it. Can somebody please explain? What does "number two" refers here to? I'm not a native english speaker so I have problems with wordplays. I always feel left out... ;-)

if that translates to a reference to a "potty" euphemism, then yeah - what he said :)

it does.

on a totally different note - (sorry to pick on you spiderman), why does everyone think i'm a guy and not a gal? i've even started checking my profile to see if i marked it wrong? will soon have an identity crisis! *grin*

Another reason why babelfish is a completely horrible waste of technology:

Es ist ein umgangsprachlicher Ausdruck fuer Stuhlgang =
It is a handling-linguistic expression for chair course.

Like, WTF?

Probably because it's not a particular feminine name. But don't worry, for a long time I thought Patella was a gal :-) To me all names ending with an 'a' are feminine.

It doesn't sound gender-specific to me. Then again, people insist on calling me Amphibian, so what do I know about usernames? ;-)

i think i fell into that trap - i guess it struck me as kinda "macho" - not the idea that only a guy could take great pix, but that a guy would SAY so --- sorry --- won't happen again ;)

that's ok, spider, i was just curious as you were the 3rd person in a short period of time to refer to me as 'he'. although, i wasn't trying to be macho, just mentally planning for my future fame and fortune as a great photographer ... a girl can dream, can't she? *grin*
