Yep, and the talk of black holes upthread is strangely pertinent to Jon's discussion of Rita.
Oh, and a quick flashback to the strokes/Pill connection, my 25-y.o. cousin had a stroke about 20 years ago, and the only thing that the doctors could figure out might have caused it was the Pill. Apparently, she had some supporting conditions that were never noticed before the stroke that combined with the Pill to bad results. (She recovered pretty quickly with no lasting ill-effects.)
