Spanning two UL's

Hey all, bear with me whilst i try to explain this!
I have two <ul> lists that are to be populated with data from a MySQL database.
The <ul>'s sit side-by-side.
I wish to create a script that will build these so that they are both equal (or one has 1 fewer if the total is an odd number).
So I was thinking of using a COUNT to count the total of entries in the table.
Dividing that value in half and building the two <ul>'s.

However, I'm not sure how to do it! Many thanks in advance :]

Take a look at MySQL for advanced help.

A tip for you:
$mod = mysql_select ("Select Count($my_retrieve) from My_Table Where... ");

if (($mod % 2) == 1) {
$mod += 1;
}

$mod = $mod / 2;

$query = mysql_select("Select * from My_Table Where... ");

echo "<table><tr><td><ul>";

for ($i=0; $i<$mod; $i++) {
echo "<li>".$query_retrieved[$i]."<br>\n";
}

echo "</ul></td><td><ul>";

// This loop is till the end of retrieved data
while ($query_retrieved) {
echo "<li>".$query_retrieved."<br>\n";
}

echo "</ul></td></tr></table>";
