We were supposed to analyze a story about an organ-grinder. I wrote the German equivalent of the sentence, "He went through the streets carrying his organ", only I used the word "Organ" instead of "Orgel". The latter is the instrument organ-grinders play. "Organ" refers to the anatomical version. Well, he did that too, right? -- Steve
