The NYT reported,that WWP commented in a Question and Answer session
last weekend  with newspaper editors from around the world
thusly:"What if my grandmother had certain sexual attributes?-Then she
would be my grandfather."
How was this phrased in Russian?

Howdy schullerx-ga,

The Russian language website "inosmi.ru" (??????.Ru) has the quote that
you cite in Cyrillic.  This is how the quote appears on that website.
http://www.inosmi.ru/stories/06/01/03/3471/227917.html

"???? ?? ? ???? ??????? (? ?????? - 'What if my grandmother ...' - ????.
?????.) ???? ???????????? ??????? ????????, ??? ???? ?? ???? ???????? (?
?????? - 'she would be my grandfather' - ????. ?????.) ..."

I have separated the essential phrase from the above, as follows.

"???? ?? ? ???? ??????? ???? ???????????? ??????? ????????, ??? ???? ??
???? ????????."

If you need any clarification, please feel free to ask.

Apologies, I am but one researcher, so "Google Answers Researchers" should
have read "Google Answers Researcher" instead.
