artkho, that's just brilliant. I had recognized the moon radical, but not the 半. Great mnemonic. Thanks!

Oh, and thanks for answering my question, Amber, Dave and Eileen. You guys rock my socks. As for the rest of you, you can see how this all played out over on the Newbie Blog, hosted by yours truly!

lordstanley - That's a terrific insight on the dating thing and coincides with my experience. Dating for her was a high-pressure event. It wasn't really dating at all. It was like... THUNDERDOME. LOL And while I adore the new Dear Amber show, I still miss Aric and TSS. They were different animals. DA is fantastic, but it's all rounded corners. TSS was edgier, but by its nature, was bound to poke people now and then. :-)

Bazza - Words can't be copyrighted, but they CAN be trademarked. For years I ran a superhero entertainment company called iHero Entertainment. The word "superhero" is a trademarked term jointly held by Marvel and DC Comics. Absurd, isn't it? I couldn't use that word in many contexts.

Thanks, Amber! I appreciate the fix. (Oh, wait... that's another show...) Hehe. You guys make such flattery easy.

Bazza - Oh, good call. I'd forgotten about that 又...又... structure. I wonder if you still need the 的 particle in there, though.

Okay. I'll take a stab at a sentence in honor of today's hosts. Corrections are most welcome. :-) 我觉得你们是最好的（和最漂亮的）老师。

Dude, I would take that photo over an autographed picture of the Last Supper. LOL It's mind-blowing.

HA! I actually got it right! I didn't win, but I got it right! Woo hoo! Oh, and Bazza? That is the greatest picture of all time. Hands down. You win at life.
