The article reminds me of the diagramed plot line in the Scarlet letter... it looks something like this:
_/\_
It starts out flat, increases to a point of OMFG and falls rapidly back down to where it started from.
Another example is that of a dying patient. The pulse starts out as non existant and after a couple plateens of electro shock treatment to get the heart going again the flat line doesn't falter from its course.
Yawn. I think I'm going to go and do something useful like watching the TeleTubbies with my kids... what did that nu-nu do this time!? :-D
:pint:
