In earth science, a dike is an igneous intrusion that cuts across pre-existing layers of rock. The ridges of volcanic rock extending away from the central volcanic neck of the Spanish Peaks in southwestern Colorado are technically called "radical dikes", and are known locally as "The Great Dikes" ( http://www.leahs.com/areainfo/dikes.htm ). European geologists have their own spelling of the word. You guessed it, it's "dyke". There is even an International Dyke Association dedicated to their study and appreciation. If you don't believe me, go to the website for the most recent International Dyke Conference at http://idc5.gsf.fi . Hey, I'm not making any of this up. Why are you all staring at me?

I suppose it only really affects church-goin' Catholics, but since most of the big parades are at least PARTIALLY sponsored by the Church, it might affect some of the major partying...
