Lately I've been reading a bit more about this particular subject. I first became aware of it a couple of years ago. I think it's pretty interesting, and hopefully some of you will too.

Wow - that is sobering.
Very interesting! This is the first I have heard of this. Thanks!

NPR's Science Friday did a segment on this over the summer. That was the first I've heard of it. You can stream the segment here: http://www.sciencefriday.com/program/archives/200907314 (http://www.sciencefriday.com/program/archives/200907314)

I haven't listened to this particular segment yet. I'll check it out. Thanks Spaltor.
I'd heard something of this a few years ago but haven't seen pictures before.
