Palaeo? Is that like Paleo? <g> I take no offense. The Pleistocene is my 
favorite epoch, paleo-indians one of my favorite courses of study in college, 
not to mention the Paleolithic on a more global scale. (Of course no one's 
offered any conclusive evidence that the Pleistocene actually is over.) At one 
time I knew both the North American and European names for the four stages of 
Pleistocene glaciation. I wonder what they're going to call the fifth? <g>
