It is said that Abe Lincoln once asked his son while they were milking cow, "If
you call the cow's tail a leg, does the cow have five legs?"  Tad (was that his
name?) answered, "Yes".  To which Abe replied, "No it doesn't.  Just because you
call it a leg does not mean it is one."

A rose by any other name...
