Hey, I mistyped "cxcept" in my post to you. :)

I've taken a lot of geology classes and we always had jokes about "plutonic" relationships. And the old classic joke was: "You take me for granite, treat me like schist, and that isn't gneiss. [Answer] No I don't, but dolamite." Geologist jokes aren't the world's best. {grin)

What, you don't like looking for perfect cleavage?

I think every geology student believes he coined those jokes.

But, actually I did. &;^)

The real difference between plutonic and platonic is that there's no uplift associated with platonic. (chuckle)
