In June, RadioLab (The NPR show), did a show called "Oops" that had a section on this. It was a REALLY interesting episode and continues to be a spectacular podcast.

If you're interested in the Oops episode, check out. http://www.radiolab.org/2010/jun/28/

EDIT: I looked, the section I'm referring starts around 4:30
