If Amy, or anyone else is interested in spending some time trying to 
track down the source of the oven cleaner rumor, I am sure I read it 
in an interview with the guy who is writing the screenplay.  I dont 
remember his name, but doubtless one of you out there does.  The 
interview may have been on salon.com, or a similar type of website.  
Happy searching! -- Joywitch
