Any dictionary will tell you that the word emergency can be both -- noun as well as adjective. To find this information you need about 10 seconds. Simply google the phrase 'define emergency'. No rocket science involved here....

Thanks! Yeah, I did look up the word but I used WordWeb (http://wordweb.info/) dictionary which does't say much about the word in question. So, I didn't know that emergency could be an adjective too. However, I just found it here:

http://www.answers.com/topic/emergency

adj.
For use during emergencies: emergency food rations.

Really, I need to pay more attention to my vocabulary. I should not just add quantity to it, but add some quality too. :) Anyways, thanks again!

No, friend, you should not agree to my point. See my other post on this page.
