Yes! I knew that. I just thought it would be to hard to understand
for all of you Disney-comics-fans out there. And diabase is always
better than dolerite. I always put diabase in MY cornflakes when
I feel like it. :-)
By the way: Are you related to the prime minister of Great Britain?

I didn't know that either. Thanx.
