As quoted on /July2003#Thu17:

mike: Zoë and Margaret are now tied.
- alan s: And looking rather similar.
- zoë: It's the generic female shape!
- mike: It looks like an alien.

Regrettably, Mike wasn't in fact claiming that all females look alien-shaped. It would have been entertaining to watch (from a safe distance!) if he had been. It was more that we were playing a silly board game involving stacking buckets to defend against angry cows, chickens, etc... and Zoë and Margaret were jointly winning, with stacks of buckets shaped something like this:

   A   A
  A A A A
 A A A A A

I trust that all is now clear.

: I suspect I'm still in trouble, though... MJ
