"A dyke (or dike) is a stone or earthen wall constructed as a defense
or as a boundary. The best known form of dyke is a construction built
along the edge of a body of water to prevent it from flooding onto an
adjacent lowland. However dykes have also been built as field
boundaries and as military defenses. More on this type of dyke can be
found in the article on dry-stone dykes."

I fail to really see your point, however, I did not miss the fact you
point to your lack of education, I wonder if that was really your
intent?

Did anybody else catch the scatalogical implications of the
mis-spelling?

You are right, they do look like a little like a dutch boy with his
finger stuck in a dyke.
