Well, whoopy-doo. In numbers, even if this were true (which it isn't), that would mean that the risk is increased from 0.04% to 0.06% or something like that. A bit like my favourite statistic that leaving your house and going into the back garden increases the risk of being hit by a meteorite by one thousand quadzillion percent. - Mark Wadsworth Wed, 30 Apr 2008 15:42:48 +0100
