[QUOTE=gd_barnes;270357]I think the English phrase that you are looking for is "I put my head to it". :-)[/QUOTE]

Thanks. That sounds more like concentrating, trying to get your intelligence channeled to do some useful work. :smile: My case was more like a curious child putting his head through a hole, and then can't get it out because his ears are too big... Or like a cat that puts its paw into a trap, because of curiosity, and then the paw is stuck there. In my language that is textual "to stick your ears (or nose) into something" (like sticking a peg in a pegboard, but with your ear in between, and then you can't fly away).:smile:
