Speaking of the French, I heard this morning that there was an 
article in a Sunday paper stating that a new 60 foot long sauropod 
had been discovered there.  Anyone know any more?

On a secondary matter, I was brought up very near to the French 
border with Switzerland (about 2 feet away), and although there was a 
lot of petty disagreements at the border posts between the two 
countries, it was purely political and did not reflect upon the more 
important personal level interactions.  I have to also say that I 
have just been invited to give an all-expenses-paid  lecture on dinosaurs 
in Beaune, Cote d'Or.  This year is also the 700th anniversary of the 
Ancien Alliance between Scotland and France with whom we have more in 
common than the English ;-).  In this spirit I can agree with the 
first sentiment expressed above, but not the second.
