# Melissa suspect held. (BBC) Police in New Jersey arrest a 30-year-old
man suspected of creating the Melissa computer virus from his home.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_310000/310581.stm
# Also: Nato under 'cyber attack':
http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_308000/308788.stm
# Melissa virus goes global:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_307000/307162.stm
: Was Melissa planted by Clinton, Serbia, Gates, Zeta Reticula? Is the New
Jersey suspect just a fall guy? Will he be shot while trying to escape?

# Unusual Skull and Skeleton: Are they "Alien"? (CNI) Two separate skeletal
finds have come to light in Texas recently, raising questions of possible
"alien" origin. In one case, a couple came into possession of a pair of
skulls, one clearly human, the other "markedly divergent from the human
norm." In the second case, a nearly complete skeleton appearing to be a
"little person" with numerous unusual anatomical features has been reported.
http://www.pufori.org/articles/aliens_cni_unusual_skull_and_skeleton.htm
: Are you concerned/excited/indifferent about remains "markedly divergent
from the human norm"?? If you met such a living entity, what would you do:
fuck it, devour it, exploit it, torture it, sell it, worship it, paint it,
dress it up in funny clothes, interrogate it, impale it, all the above?

# BANNED SUBSTANCES: OF ABSINTHE AND MARIJUANA. Here are two stories about
banned substances with something in common: THC or THC-like ingredients.
Absinthe, once revered by artists and poets, contains a THC-like ingredient.
These days, more artists and poets are likely to use marijuana. A recent
study compared marijuana usage in America (where the drug is illegal) to
Holland (where the drug is legally available) and found that Americans are
more than twice as likely to use marijuana on a monthly basis. A repressive
policy does not necessarily result in less drug use. What's the lesson here?
http://www.healthcentral.com/drdean/DeanFullTextTopics.cfm?ID=8508
: Were cannabinoids responsible for the evolution of human intelligence? Are
anti-pot policies designed to suppress further evolution? Who benefits? Why?

# TESTOSTERONE CHEWING GUM? "ANDRO" STRIKES AGAIN. Androstenedione is now
being marketed in a chewing gum by an Irvine, California company and should
hit the shelves soon. The testosterone-boosting supplement, made famous by
Cardinals slugger Mark McGwire, supposedly increased the libido in East
German female athletes to levels "bordering on nymphomania" in the 80s. Yes,
extra testosterone in women will increase libido, but are we ready for a
chewing gum that contains a hormone and is available to anyone over-the-
counter? http://www.healthcentral.com/drdean/DeanFullTextTopics.cfm?ID=8509
: Should body-altering substances be readily available? What body-sculpting
results do you want? Do you want to tune-up your libido? Do the voices in
your head tell you to? Does andro gum fatten-up humans for alien harvesting?

> NASA SET TO LAUNCH EARTH-WATCHING SATELLITE. New high-resolution images
of Earth from space will soon be available when NASA launches the Landsat
7 Earth-observing satellite on April 15. Landsat 7 will be the third in a
series of land-surface observation satellites that have revolutionized the
science of environmental monitoring from space over the past 26 years. The
purpose of the Landsat program is to monitor land surface changes. The
principal instrument aboard Landsat 7 measures radiation reflected or
emitted by the Earth. http://cnn.com/TECH/space/9904/01/landsat/index.html
: Do you mind that spy, er surveillance, er Earth-monitoring satellites can
watch your every move? Would you rather be monitored by CIA, KGB, IBM, ETs?

# Unmanned spy planes to guide Harriers. (BBC) Remote-controlled drones are
reported to have been sent to Kosovo after RAF Harrier crews aborted bombing
missions for a fourth consecutive night. Drones to help Nato forces pinpoint
targets: http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/uk/newsid_310000/310278.stm
@ Links: Nato: http://www.nato.int/
@ RAF - The Harrier GR7: http://www.raf.mod.uk/front_line/harrier.html
: Would you use robots/drones to guide your attacks? Are they more accurate/
reliable than remote-viewers, clairvoyants, ESPrs? Are they more profitable?
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
# Fiery Skies. (NUA) Blather/NUA receives a bunch of emails from wandering
witnesses of weird things in the sky, and while feeling confident about
their relative mundanity, we do start to worry when people report UFOs from
over Dublin streets during large public gatherings. Tip a pint and take a
close look at: http://www.blather.net/archives2/issue2no40.html
: Is NATO testing crypto-craft over neutral Eire? Is the Irish leadership
being shown demos of such craft to recruit Eire into Nato? Would you join?

"'I think nuns are good, too,' Vigore agreed with his greenish tablemate,
wiping a track of grease from the edge of his maw with the back of a seven-
fingered hand, "they don't get stuck in me teeth like fishermans do." --JC
