Thank you for this! The last time this type of thing came up, I mailed in this letter to my MP. (I think it was this one - did you post it before?) Looks like I have to do it again. Though I think my MP is too riled up fighting gay marriage to give a shit:/ sigh
"When the country's first school for the deaf was established in 1977, children were not taught sign language but developed a system of signs to communicate."
So if the *children* were the ones to develop the language, I can see it must have been driven by the need to communicate in some way, since the school didnt teach how to communicate. But I gotta wonder - just what were the teachers doing during the months (or more?) where no one could talk to each other?
I, for one, am getting pretty envious of all the people I know that have trouble sleeping. I wish I couldn't sleep so well, then I could more work done. I don't play sports or excerise, and do take caffiene, but I nod off easily in the day plus sleep 12h a night if I dont watch it. Thank god for alarm clocks.:p
Just saying, some people may not call what you have a 'problem' ^_-

If some company actually does this, it will be the frst step towards making our own Dyson sphere :)
