I was too young to see the film Troy when it came out, so I built myself a giant wooden adult.

Pure lunacy!
Ask her to explain the number mirrors up there then:

I mean you can't just randomly dump them. They have to be directed back at earth for the reflection to work.

OK. Then it's a battle we can't win! :smile:

Against tik tok anyone is defenseless.

What DaveC426913 says is much more logical. But do we have a prefix with combining meaning for "Either or all classifications..." ?

The next time we come up to a door with one of those symbols on it or it says "unisex", we should ask a clerk, "Which one?"

The Italians have to distinguish between binario and binaria, depending on the gender of the person. :cool:

I was inspired to post that joke by an article I read in my Apple News feed just now, from People magazine. It was about a 1980s event (not Halloween related!) in Cleveland, Ohio. It consistently referred to "Lake Eerie." I thought, "someone must have had too much to drink at a Halloween party."
