Sunrise - Thanks for the article link. That was very interesting. It must be quite a job to be a researcher who studies tears. I can understand how they can easily obtain "protective" tears from subjects, but how do think they get people to donate "emotional" tears? Fascinating job.

I thought the explanation of the physical effects was interesting.
I guess I've never been in a situation where I wished I could be crying and couldn't. I imagine it must be like wanting to be able to sleep and not being able to do it. It sounds frustrating.
