Has the theory been discredited or what? Just a comment on the name. The name "Prion" is unfortunate, since that is the common English name of a group of southern hemisphere pelagic birds, related to petrels. "Prions" are also know as "whale-birds", and apparently used to hang arong whales and eat the krill and other plankton that the whales injure or otherwise stir up. David Mark dmark@cs.buffalo.edu
