    OK, way OT, but I'll put my $.02 in: Einstein, Schroddinger, Feynman, et
    al. have postulated this could/would occur since, oh, back in the 1920's
    or earlier. I'm trying to recall the article in Scientific American (or
    somesuch) from the late '80's/early '90's titled something like "Is the
    moon really there when no one's looking?" that outlines the principle.
