I have been looking at earthquake data for sometime since the “2004 Indian Ocean earthquake” (wikipedia link) and trying to make sense of the voluminous data of the other quakes from various quake monitoring agencies.

I was wondering whether if testing for Phenylketonuria is compulsory in Singapore given the so many increasing autistic and hyperactive kids here.
