This could be  *even*  more interesting than Python++ and Lava, (and 
even further off topic), if somewhat more difficult to understand.

Could you remind me why, confusingly, the fossil record can be 
misinterpreted to show a multitude of species apparently evolving. I seem 
to remember reading somewhere that this was a practical joke on the part 
of the Almighty but I could be wrong. 

I have never really understood why the various methods of isotope ratio 
dating are all  in error by the same enormous margin  but I expect there is 
a simple explanation. 

It may well be that it is all explained in a book on in one of the libraries that 
Simon has been telling us about....
