Someone once asked Ruth Bader Ginsberg how many women she thought would be enough on the US Supreme Court. "Nine," she replied.

"Nine!" gasped the questioner. "Isn't that rather ... a lot?!?"

"I don't see how," she replied. "There have been nine men on the Court for two hundred years and no one's ever thought that was odd."

Well done, WA! Keep going!! Very well done indeed!
