Another fine family friendly article! Trashbat 10:29, 25 May 2007 (CDT)

The world needs more wet dykes! For irrigation, that is. --Kels 10:34, 25 May 2007 (CDT)

No mention of the beautifully curved Dutch dikes? The best and wettest dikes in the world! MiddleMan

Or the beautiful dykes of Hebden Bridge... Trashbat 10:45, 25 May 2007 (CDT)

"Residents of Hebden Bridge are known as "bowl-lickers"" ...seriously? --Kels 10:46, 25 May 2007 (CDT)

It's just occurred to me. Should the story of the little Dutch boy who held his finger in the duke be referenced in the article? http://www.pantheon.org/articles/l/little_dutch_boy.html --Bob_M (talk) 11:55, 25 May 2007 (CDT)

Hell, yes! Maybe a section on "Legendary Dykes" or something? --Kels 12:03, 25 May 2007 (CDT)

I am taken aback (in the wayaback machine) by the addition to the Little Dutch Boy story. It suggests that in attempting to help, the men of the town may have compromised the integrity of this fine, upstanding dyke. --Kels 12:21, 25 May 2007 (CDT)

The little boy started it though. Trashbat 12:23, 25 May 2007 (CDT)

Right. First, we kill all the children. --Kels 12:45, 25 May 2007 (CDT)

I fear you may have misunderstood friend kells. When they saw the little Dutch boy had his finger in they all wanted to plug the dyke. Their objective was to keep things upright, and firm.--Bob_M (talk) 12:26, 25 May 2007 (CDT)

Huh! Sending men to do a woman's job! --Kels 12:33, 25 May 2007 (CDT) ROTFL (human)

I guess it WAS an emergency. I'm sure the girls would have helped out if they'd been around.--Bob_M (talk) 12:38, 25 May 2007 (CDT)

Mosta the dykes I know, if the little boy stuck his finger in them, theyda slapped him upside the head and gave him some larnin about havin some 'spect! human^{be in} 21:05, 28 May 2007 (CDT)

Offa's Dyke

OK Why no mention of Offa's Dyke? That was my next CP Article. It was going to discuss how Offa, the King of Mercia was worried about heathen Welsh hoards rampaging and and pillaging, so he employed a Dyke to protect his kindgom. This dyke ran along the borders of Offa's kingdom between Mercia and Wales, was earthy in nature, robust in appearance, relatively unattractive, and offered strong resistance to any Welsh man who attempted to penetrate defences. Offa's Dyke is now a term of endearment in Wales for any object or person who puts up a strong resistance to advances. --CatWatcher 05:48, 26 May 2007 (CDT)

By all means, toss it in!

hm, I don't get the same feeling posting this article on here as I would if it were CP. Now I wonder why that is?--CatWatcher 05:53, 26 May 2007 (CDT)

Good job on Greg Dyke! It's such a wholesome, traditional name, don't you think? I wonder if it's related to special effects man, John Dykstra? --Kels 11:05, 26 May 2007 (CDT)
