trying not to take gift horse in the mouth... by lord_dolphin2003-01-04 12:00:50
  *Taking* a gift horse in the mouth by Route 2003-01-04 13:40:12
would be difficult.

I think you meant "look a gift horse in the mouth". The expression derives from the practice of looking at a horse's teeth to tell its age. (Worn teeth = older horse.) If you were buying a horse, you would want to know it was "as advertised".

      I don't see why they call it a *Trojan* horse. by Route2003-01-04 14:00:04
        Because they weatherproofed it. by Naruki2003-01-04 14:38:39
