Craig, if you mean third year student, say third year student.
(note change, I have recently learned from a posting in soc.women that
I was incorrect in my original estimate.  mea culpa.)

I don't think I took nearly so much pleasure pointing out how stupid your
statement was as I did imagining the response you would would write
to somehow make it seem like you knew all along that un-equal chromosome
number was no barrier to hybrids.  I also figured you would add a list
of facts to make the point that you, in fact, know more about such hybrids
than the rest of us.

I must say, you did not disappoint me.
Perhaps next time we on the net should take bets as to what wonderfully
pompous and pedantic response you will give.

A.J.P. (I will get a real job when I'm good and ready!
         (or when they stop paying me to be a student))
