Would spontaneous generation and alternate generation merit their own entries extracted from the material already there ? DCDuring 18:15, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Taken care of, and Translations table split by senses. --EncycloPetey 20:57, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Definition #6

Thirty years? I could swear that I have always seen it as twenty. The latter makes quite a bit more sense -- even today, the average first-time parent is far less than thirty.
