“What tends to happen is that people who’ve had these very profound experiences may come back positively transformed — they become more altruistic, more engaged with helping others. They find a new meaning to life having had an encounter with death,” Parnia said. “But there isn’t like a sudden magical enhancement of their memories,” he added. “That’s just Hollywood jazz.” More.

Agreed with J-Mac's comment. It also blocks the left edge of article text. I suspect that someone was bitten by Microsoft under the light of the full moon; an unwanted and annoying feature has been foisted off onto us.EvilSnack
