Maybe I did not get it well. I found in my english-portuguese dictionary:
compliment: congratulation, greeting, honour.
complement: something added to another thing to made it complete.

Seems that both makes sense in your old .sig  :) :)

Now that's funny ! In a meeting in the last weekend, I learned some
tongue-twisters very interesting. I will try to remember, if I am
wrong and somebody knows the real ones, please correct me.

English: Laura really likes little red roses. Some japaneses tried and 
found it very difficult because of the lots of 'r' and 'l'.

Japanese: $@$&$i(J $@$K$O(J $@$K$o!#(J $@$K$o(J $@$K(J $@$O(J $@$K$o$H$j(J $@$K$o(J $@$"$k!#(JSomething like
"Behind there is a lake. In the lake there are two chickens". I think I
remembered it wrong, specially the position of the "$@$o(Js" and "$@$O(Js".
Can somebody correct me ?

Japanese: $@$9$b$b(J $@$b(J $@$b$b(J $@$b(J $@$b$F(J $@$$$^$9(J. Somethink like "I have damsons and
peachs."

Well, I like it very much. Any suggestions ?
