I remember reading a couple of years ago (wish I remembered where) that, so
far as is known, the Irish (especially the Western Irish) had far more
celiac disease than any other nationality, and that they also had more
schizophrenia than any other ethnic group. "Erin gobraugh." If that's true,
I wonder if it's indicative. But, Harry, who only comes out to render
scientific opinions, insists that he's not certain the article was
accurate, and points out to vance that the two of us have never seen those
figures again anywhere :) -vance and harry
