aaarrgh!

What kind of non-intelligence level is it that causes someone to seriously ask:

"Does the PC need to be on to run this software?"

Lets see now... does your TV need to be on for you to watch it? Does the fridge need to be on to keep things cold?

Tell him a "tail lift" is the easiest way to tell the gender of a small animal.
