    I'll post the grammatical explaination later, Onion. I'm on my way out right now.

    No worries mate. Used to do a bit of theatre & voice over stuff so played with the inflection & timing of the sentance a bit & got what it meant. still wanna hit you with a pie tho!

    Translation to Nicks 'trick':
    "That that that that is the third 'that' in this sentance is a noun is obvioius." is
    "The fact that the specific occurance of the word 'that' which falls as the 3rd 'that' in this sentance..."

    My high school english teacher would be so proud.
