No disrespect, and multiple hypothesis lead to healthy discussion and
investigation, but:
Some of the BSE stories are beginning to sound like the theories of the
Golgafrinchians (sp?) and their Mutant Star Goat having destroyed their

Try a www search, there is a lot of BSE info out there.
Media journalists are worse than the Golgafrinchians...
