Hi Guys,

Just one question, "Larry" the cow, surely a cow is female and a bull is male ?

Regards
Gavin
PS : Nice distro, be installing another one tonight, well done.

Wow, you're right.  I was about to argue with you but decided to follow
my own advice and look it up first.  According to the Oxford dictionary
it's a female bovine at least one year old that has given birth.

So, is there a non-sex implying term other than bovine?  I can't find
one.

	hI;

	 Well, why doesnt one of you just squeeze out a daughter
and name it Larry? Then we can add it to the bisexual names, like
Chris, etc. Id do it, but Paul jr. I, and Paul jr. II would get
confused, and I cant do that to the two sweetest girls on the
face of the earth. Sure, its illegal in Germany, but what good
are my v8 4x4's and colt 45's if we amerikanans cant tell those
pansy ass europeans to go to hell.
	 Besides, I supsect Larry is really a heifer.
