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:

Well at least it makes sense.

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.
