Lots of theories.  ;)  As for the Polar bears... apparently they
originally had to adapt to live on the ice rather than land, so now they
are just having to adapt back...  That at least made me feel a little
better about them... :)

I usually end up with at least a sticky if not creamy rice any time I
make rice... :)   I'm using regular long-grain brown rice, but I don't
follow instructions to not stir or lift the lid... also it's usually
being cooked with broth and some sort of fat (like with chicken thighs
with some fat still there).  I'm usually stirring it near the end, a few
times while the last of the liquid is absorbing...  :)   I like it this
way... I don't have to add any sauces to it for a casserole... :)
