# MAGNETS REVEAL BRAIN FUNCTIONS. The more we discover about our material-
istic brain functions, the fewer aspects there are of our humanity that may
be due to an immaterial "soul." Every time science pins down another perc-
eptual, emotional, analytical, ethical, etc. capability as caused by brain-
body physical interactions, it diminishes magical explanations for who and
what we are. http://www.news.harvard.edu/gazette/1999/04.15/magnetism.html
: Do you prefer magical or material explanations? Which are more useful, fun
or profitable? Would swallowing magnets make your brain work better? Where?

# Pharmacies mix a tastier medicine dose. Pharmacists are making cough syrup
taste like pina coladas, antibiotics like coconut and liquid antacid like
licorice sticks. They're using flavorings to sweeten a bitter taste or mask
strong medicine, making life easier for parents tired of battling with
cranky, sick children with finicky palates. It's opening up a debate over
safety - http://cnn.com/HEALTH/9905/10/flavored.cures.ap/index.html
: What's your favorite flavor for drugs? Should drugs just be produced by
bioengineered plants/animals/bacteria and served in food? Have a MacVaccine?

# Mother Accused Of Killing Son Over Music. JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) A mother
is accused of stabbing her 22-year-old son to death with a bread knife after
he refused to turn down his hi-fi. They had row over the hi-fi being too
loud. She allegedly stabbed him in the back with a bread knife, then went
off to a nearby tavern. http://news.excite.com/news/r/990510/11/odd-slaying
: Is this the proper way to celebrate Mother's Day? Have you ever wanted to
kill someone because of music, art, esthetics? Have you done so? Was it fun?

# GM Third World warning. (BBC) The charity Christian Aid challenges claims
by makers of genetically-modified food that they can ease 3rd World hunger.
Instead, CA warns that biotech firms' efforts to sell GM seeds to 3rd World
farmers may also rob Western consumers of their freedom to choose or refuse
GM foods. http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_339000/339240.stm

# Who do you trust more: Xian charities, biotech/agribiz, gov't, BBC, me? Do
you eat GM foods? Have you mutated yet? Would you like to mutate? Into what?

@ The Consecration of New Atlantis. "The U.S.A. is an occult project known
as New Atlantis. It has been organized by clandestine Luciferian Masons
(CLuMs) to help bring about the Empire of the Antichrist, a.k.a. the NWO,
whose capital will be in Jerusalem." aol://5863:126/alt.conspiracy:521517
: Er, ah, yeah, sure, what can I say about this? Anyone have any hints? Huh?

# Hubble nets a disaster. (BBC) It is what Net users wanted and Hubble duly
obliged. Eight thousand Internet voters asked for the Hubble Space Telescope
(HST) to take a close-up picture of the extraordinary "polar-ring" galaxy
NGC 4650A. Located about 130 million light-years away, NGC 4650A is one of
only 100 known polar-ring galaxies. Their unusual disk-ring structure is
not yet understood fully. One possibility is that the polar rings are the
remnants of a galactic collision at least a billion years ago. Big-time
crash: http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_339000/339898.stm
: Do you like to watch occurrences or aftermaths of collisions, the bigger
the better? Do you prefer crashing cars, planes, ships, planets, galaxies?

The road carried the morning stage from Jasper toward Bad Fork like the hand
of a long, dusty god with cactus and tumbleweed whiskers flowing under a
huge blue-eye-sky that held a twinkling pupil-sun blazing in its center like
a spark thrown from a coach wheel spun against granite not unlike the hard
face of the driver who lashed his whip at the six-horse team, screaming,
"I'll burn the rims off the wheels and come in rollin' on spokes!" --JB
