Bet nobody expected that answer… Sternvogel: That’s the answer I was going for, although I realized only yesterday that I had erroneously picked up that intended meaning in something I read years ago (I think the writer was trying to be clever; too clever by far, if you ask me). I was going to withdraw the question today, but remembered being laughed at as a kid for other mis-steps, and, so, because I’ve been cowering in a closet since 9:00am this morning reliving the trauma, I only just came out now to proclaim my ignorance to the whole world. Congratulations on coming up with a brilliant answer to an absolutely stupid question from a totally embarassed dope(r)! :smack: :wally Your choice of prize: a free toaster or a goat. ---

Sorry for jumping in when all I’ve done in this thread to date is lurk, but during insomnia last night, I came up with a clue that absolutely has to be posted here: _In the Prof. Xavier’s School for Gifted Children yearbook, he consistently won the Least Likely to Comprehend Award._ ---
