# 'Sensational' anti-matter discovery. (BBC) The reason we are all made of
matter and not anti-matter may have been found. Smashing atoms & theories:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_291000/291299.stm
# Also: Does it matter?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_143000/143084.stm
# Ghostly particles rule the universe
http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_106000/106629.stm
# Recreating the big bang
http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_102000/102802.stm
: Are you pro or con on 'normal' matter? Do you personally prefer 'normal'
or antimatter, antithought, antigravity, antidotes? Is reality constructed
of masons, positrons and morons? How many Big Bangs have you caused? Why?

# 400-Year-Old Kepler Horoscope Found. SANTA CRUZ (Reuters) - A California
researcher perusing an archive drawer of miscellaneous documents has found
a 400-year-old horoscope written by one of history's greatest astronomers,
Johannes Kepler. http://nt.excite.com/news/r/990305/08/odd-horoscope
: Are old horoscopes better/worse than new ones? Would Kepler have drafted
better horoscopes if he'd had a PC or Mac? Would he have discovered his
laws of orbital motion sooner? Would he have felt better about himself?

*** La Nina brings weather of extremes. DENVER (AP) It's been so mild & dry
this winter Coloradans have been trading parkas for T-shirts, and cactuses
in Arizona likely won't bloom. Seattle, meantime, suffered 90 days of rain
in the 4 months leading up to March - a record for a region usually boast-
ful of its wet climate. Blame La Nina, a phenomenon that has delivered a
feast-or-famine winter to the West, dousing the Northwest with record rains
while keeping the Southwest mostly dry. More weather disruptions coming -
see http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2558694674-7f2
: Are El Nino, La Nina, Le Nini caused by normal terrestrial/solar dynamics,
human weather modification [intentional or accidental], ETs, deities, fate?
How can you make a profit on it? Can the Mafia take over weather meddling?
Has the CIA diddled with weather? The KGB? The Illuminati? Where do crime,
conspiracy, weather, business, science, faith and insanity intersect? How?
# Heavy Rain Makes Drivers Run For Insurance. SAO PAULO (Reuters) As if ram-
pant car theft and reckless driving were not enough, Brazilians have another
compelling reason to insure their cars -- torrential rain. The Porto Seguro
insurance company, SaoPaulo's top car insurer, said inquiries about policies
for cars have tripled in the last week as heavy summer rains swept away cars
on downtown streets. http://nt.excite.com/news/r/990308/07/odd-rain
: Are El Nino, La Nina, Le Nini a plot by/against insurance companies? How
would you use weather control to extort money? Would you get away with it?

# UK Parliament ponders GM potatoes. (BBC) The scientist whose experiments
on rats sparked the storm over genetically-modified (GM) plants is to tell
a parliamentary committee why he is concerned.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_291000/291105.stm
# Also: GM-row scientist 'misrepresented'
http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_291000/291316.stm
: What gene.mods would you like to make in your food? In yourself? In your
neighbors, family, enemies, pets? Should you eat your clones? Are you tasty?
Are you worried about GM foods? Have you eaten any? Knowingly or otherwise?

# Thief Gets Swift Retribution. NAIROBI (Reuters) A Kenyan who stole the
collection at a Sunday service in a Nairobi cathedral was killed by a bus
as he fled with his loot. http://nt.excite.com/news/r/990308/07/odd-thief
: Did {YHWH} send that bus? Does this show that you shouldn't fuck around
with deities? How many other such crimes go unpunished? Do deities care?

# Rocket man's dreams take off. (BBC) One of the UK's leading amateur
rocketeers has successfully launched his latest craft. Steve Bennett watched

@ UK Amateur/Experimental Rocketry Altitude Records:
http://www.gbnet.net/orgs/staar/altrec.html
: Have you launched anything lately? Did it hit anything? Have you ever been
sued for reckless rocketeering? Should amateur experimentation be regulated?

# Undertaker Cut Hand From Corpse For Voodoo. BRADENTON, Fla. (Reuters) - A
Florida jury found a former funeral home director guilty of abusing a human
body after she cut the hand from a corpse as part of a voodoo ritual. Voices
in my head told me to: http://nt.excite.com/news/r/990305/13/odd-voodoo
: Does your religion involve dismembering or otherwise manipulating corpses?
Is it fun? Do you ever ignore the voices in your head? Is that safe? Why?
