[edit] Needs source and cleanup

I moved the following from the article page, where it had been place under the reference section. Parts of it don't seem to ring true with what I can find in a quick Google search, but I don't want to just delete it. If anyone can source or clarify this, feel free to put it back (above the reference section).--Curtis Clark (talk) 05:56, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
