I'll add some more content soon. In the past I wrote a couple articles about this [1][2], but these would be considered personal research. So I'll have to search for more reputable sources and continue expanding this page.

This is the most interesting article I've ever read on wikipedia. I wish it went more in-depth. Family Guy Guy (talk) 15:44, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
