      That won't work in the US because of their Monty-Pythonesque pronunciation of "buoy" (which makes me chuckle every time I hear it -- especially when it issues forth from the mouths of uniformed-up, important-looking naval ship captains).

                  I use bit different technique: I drop it in water! If SHE sinks: Female ant If HE sinks: Male Ant

                  Amit Joshi Value of the value is valued only if its value is valued.
