Oh no, not in the least!!! I always thought it was odd as well. I've heard that it can be more prevalent in third world (is that still politically correct to say?) countries.
I can't speak for anyone else, but you sure didn't hurt me . . . I am always intrigued with unusual medical terms/conditions.
Unfortunately, one new term I've heard of just this week, that makes me abundantly sad, is "coffin birth," in relation to Laci Peterson. Sometimes, when I watch the news, I don't think there are enough anti-depressants in the world to help with the pain of so much suffering.
Okay, sorry to get so morose - but the Pica thing is indeed interesting and glad you brought it up.
