But that's no fun -- it doesn't involve sex! How about this: "index" and "sex" both end with "ex", which is short for "exception". (Of course, you could get straight from "index" to "exception" that way too, but then there wouldn't be any excuse for mentioning sex. :-) -- Greg Ewing, Computer Science Dept, University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/~greg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
