		I never did think the MALE adaptor and FEMALE adaptor thing was right... The guy at radio shack always gives me a funny look when I buy a GENDER CHANGER. And why is ICEMAN member #1. I am waaay cooler than he is! I think my member number should be changed.

		Iceman is #1 because he registered first... Actually it's because he played body snatcher and took over Arakon's old account. :lol:

That said, one of the guys in my Theatre Tech class, when the teacher explained the male/female terminology, started giggling; later in the period he made the demonstration connectors 'have sex'. Thankfully he was the only one who thought it was funny.
