What the hell is 'Muffin the mule'? We occassionaly encounter 'mule muffins' in the pastures around here, but I've never heard the words used in reverse order.


Maybe if I hadn't been so persistent in trying to whang that quick brown fox, she wouldn't have run off.

Sorry 'bout that... not! :-p
Seriously, though, I don't know what you're talking about. Must be some Brit book that never made it over the pond.

I thought the term was 'hamorphadite'
Not to be a pedantic, old muffin, but here's a way to remember :

Hermaphrodite was the son of the Greek demigod Hermes and the Goddess Aphrodite. (the story of Herm is the real origin of the meaning of the word)
