RE: When new ageism and palaeontology collide



I wonder if this is tongue-in-cheek.

Enya. As implied by the post, Enya is a musician. And as you are a European, 
David, I'm surprised you've not heard of her. It's like not knowing who Björk 
is. (Disclosure: I listen to Enya (among other less "relaxing" artists such as 
Linkin Park) but I do not listen to Björk.)

Newage = New Age. Sewage? Really? (sewage = possible production of sewing 
products? SOH-aj rather than SOO-aj)

Cheers,
