I don't have the answer, but I experience the same thing during engrossing movies. By the way, I found your site through a link on "Rambodoc at large." He and I share links. If you get a chance, check out my blog. If you like it, I would love to share links with you also. If you agree, leave me a comment on one of my posts. I find your posts to be very entertaining and thought provoking at the same time. I never quite though of it like that.
