Magpie, a dangerous affliction for a printer?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/3503967.stm

Just learned from this article that the Latin for Magpie is pica. How charming - I wonder if Vince Connare knows. Have any printers or typographers suffered from pica and lived to tell the tale?

Is this where the term "lead-belly" comes from?

ewww. pad pun. sorry.
